This is a member of the Tasca d’Almerita family of Sicilian wines, created in 2008 in the hills near Palermo. It’s a very smooth wine, but a leaner smooth, with many blended red fruits in flavor with some barrel notes, light tannins and a kick-in of bright cherries at the finish. Even though a lighter wine, it still has good presence on the palate.
