Tasca d'Almerita Ghiaia Nera.

Alcohol: 13.0% Red from Italy, Sicily Year: 2021

Originating from the volcanic terrains of Mount Etna, this Nerello Mascalese wine shows an invigorating freshness. The bottle reveals nuanced hints of smokiness and ash, artfully intermingled with vibrant notes of fresh red berries. The wine is aged in large Slavonian oak barrels in order to preserve a fruit character.
