Tasca d'Almerita Tascante Ghiaia Nera Nerello Mascalese 2023

A remarkable revelation! The intensity and complexity of the hints and body were far exceeding the initial expectation, with the cranberry juice color being a mere facade.

Refined glass of ruby wine, with a mild scent of oysters and rubber, and a nuance of vibrancy by the foot. A touch of bracing quality sets the tone, but soon gives way to a intense berry bright notes that extends long after the finish. The wine is just right balanced, making it a outstanding pairing for a charcuterie board.

The glass presents a garnet hue, which, unfortunately, is not ideal for appreciating the nuances of the wine. However, the nose is driven by by a robust, mineral-rich scent similar to of volcanic rock, with a understated nuance of muted red berries. The flavor profile is outlined by the impression of volcanic ash, red berries, and a pronounced earthy undertone, which is harmonious by a more apparent top two notes. The finale is medium to long in duration.
