Another interesting wine from Italy and Sicily. This is a blend of Nerello Mascalese, and Nerello Cappuccio. Grown on slopes on Mt.
2017 Tasca D'Almerita Regaleali Le Rose Terre Siciliane IGT, Italy, Sicily, Wine Review
This is made from 100% Nerello Mascalese grapes. Salmon color, clear and bright. The nose has strawberries, slight raspberries and a hint of rhubarb. This took about 30 minutes to open once the screw cap was removed. The palate is very smooth. No bite on it which is quite refreshing. There is a nice tart acidity on it which makes if very food friendly. Light cherries with a slight herbal note somewhat akin to bitters on the finish. It works very well at the table. This is a nice and easy rose and a very good value.
