Il Tascante DOC Sicily

A Nerello Mascalese from Mount Etna that appears in the glass with a bright ruby red and plenty of tension: volcanically influenced, floral, and finely structured.

Tenuta Tascante cultivates vineyards on Mount Etna, on volcanic soil that gives the wine its mineral character. Il Tascante is vinified as a single-varietal Nerello Mascalese and aged in large oak barrels. The work in the vineyard is done by hand.

On the nose, dark forest berries, along with violets and wisteria and a mineral hint of flint. On the palate, structured, with present but fine tannins and a long, aromatic finish. The bright color is deceptive: the wine has pull and depth without feeling heavy.

Recommendation: Serve it at 16 to 18 °C. It goes with roasted duck breast, pasta with game ragout, grilled tuna, or mature Pecorino.
