WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
The Tascante Ghiaia Nera is a cuvee of Nerello Mascalese from three incredibly biodiverse Etna Contrade vineyards on the north side of Mt. Etna – Piano Dario, Rampante and Sciaranuova. Surrounded by chestnut trees and downy oak, these terraced volcanic vineyard sites produce supremely balanced wines that embody the freshness and restrained power for which Etna is known. Ghiaia Nera is their purest expression of the DOC.
TASTING NOTES:
Sweet berry and orange peel with peach undertones as well as lemon blossom. Medium body, with crunchy fruit and a fresh and lightly chewy finish. Delicious wine now, showing volcanic character with ashy and smoky undertones.
