WINE DESCRIPTION

The wine is made from grapes grown in the Pianodario vineyard, located on the slopes of Mount Etna, one of the most active volcanoes in Europe.

The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including hand-harvesting and aging in oak barrels, resulting in a wine with a rich and elegant flavor profile.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Tasca d'Almerita Tenuta Tascante Contrada Pianodario Etna Rosso DOC is an incredibly full-bodied and complex wine.Aromas of dried cherry, blackberry, licorice, and spice lead to flavors of ripe blackberry, earthy smoke, and tobacco. The finish is long, with a pleasant lingering of spice and dark fruit. This exceptional Italian wine pairs perfectly with aged cheeses, roasted meats, and tomato-based dishes.
