Tasca d'Almerita Tascante 'Ghiaia Nera' 2015 Review

This easy-drinking Mount Etna red has bright red fruit on the nose and palate, followed by lovely minerality and a dry, food-friendly finish. Comprised of Nerello Mascalese, it's a nice alternative to an Oregonian Pinot Noir — and excellent value for the money. Buy now, and buy often.
