Tasca D'Almerita
Tascante Ghiaia Nera Nerello Mascalese
Red fruit, volcanic minerality, light to medium bodied, fresh acidity, clean fruit-driven finish.

Jan 4th, 2014Nerello time. Bright red berry fruit, herbal notes and expected firm mineral structure. Perhaps from newer vines. Hits all the notes but doesn't have the depth I find in my faves...

Nov 10th, 2013It's rather light. Almost like a Pinot, but it has backbone. Don't overpower this with sauce, I'm thinking a nice mushroom risotto. :)

Nov 5th, 2015Soft, balanced, leather, cherry, a little smoky quality. Looks light and past its prime, but it is definitely not! Wish I had another.

Jul 28th, 2015Love nerello mascalese. Cherry - black & red, tea & slight dirt/iron. Good acid. Slovenian oak provides some clove spice and med tannic profile.

Oct 29th, 2014Interesting. Reminds me in ways of both Pinot and Nebbiolo, yet the the mineral is distinct. There may be little empirical scientific evidence that supports minerality in wine, but I taste volcano!!!!
