Tenuta Tascante 'Ghiaia Nera' Etna Rosso 2017 Review
This wine bursts with juicy, focused cherry fruit with a slight tannic edge. The acidity is vibrant lifting the wine on the palate. It’s such a balanced wine and would be great with a casual meal like pizza night but can also shine with more involved meals like breaded pork loin drenched in red sauce.
