Tasting Notes
Elegant, but kind of closed nose. Sour cherry, herbs and brine. Coarse tannins backed by sour cherry taste - both in flavours and in acidity. Long finish. Sophisticated, touch of VA makes it a little bit funky, but definitely not in a bad way. Q1000 Tartaraci is a great effort.
Oh my, I love this herbs bouquet on the red fruits background. There is a subtle hint of VA, but more in a balsamic and brine way. Really nice how ripe and sour characteristics mix in a single glass. It requires some decent aeration to get into shape, but once there you get more ripe fruits, vanilla, you get a medium-bodied wine with coarse tannins, very long finish and flavours of cranberry. Vino di Anna produces really great Nerello Mascalese wines. Etna, I am going to visit you soon.
