The Tenuta Tascante winery is located in the Contrada”district” Rampante. Here the Nerello
Mascalese vines, thanks to the matrix of the soils and favorable sun exposure of the Contrada,
have a particular vigor.
The flavor profile of this wine presents light notes of fruit that give
way to well-accentuated earthy and forest floor notes. The palate is rich, savory, with
fine-grained high tannins. A pleasant meaty sensation on the finish.
Profile:
Bright ruby-red
Dried walnuts, hazelnuts, dried herbs, strawberries, red licorice and watermelon
Tangy and pretty on the medium-bodied palate, which is subtle in its delivery of orange-zest and lime undertones
Food Pairing: Braised beef, curries, spicy Mexican dishes, or chicken vindaloo
What’s In It: 100% Nerello Mascalese
How It Was Made:
Vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks and then aging is done in
