Tenuta Tascante Tefra Rosato Etna DOC 2021 Review
The Nerello Mascalese grape native to the slopes of Mount Etna, the active volcano on Sicily’s eastern coast, makes wonderful red wines that can make a Pinot Noir lover happy. They also make great rosé wines like this one. Refreshing is the key word here. The nose has the welcoming sense of bright acidity which comes alive on the palate. There are similarities to the feeling of the crisp edges of Provence rosé, but this wine brings a depth that is unique to this grape. The result is a bright, vibrant rosé with great acidity and rounded fruit.
