Gravel Black Tasca D’Almerita Etna Doc 2018
BLACK GRAVEL ETNA DOC
Our interpretation of Nerello Mascalese from young vineyards. Terraces surrounded by chestnut and downy oak forests, an area rich in biodiversity that determines the personality of the wines. Soft tannins, good drinkability and freshness. It is aged in large oak barrels, a non-invasive wood as Nerello Mascalese requires.
