2015 Tenuta di Aglaea 'Talia' Etna Rosso Sicily Italy

Nerello Mascalese

Thalia is a word of Sicilian dialect and resembles ‘look’ as in ‘look there!’. It is also the name of one of the Three Graces in ancient Greek history. The wine is transparent dry strawberry red in the glass, and expresses itself in a light and elegant manner. It opens up perfumed with delicate mineral aromas particular of the lava soil, a firm body, and fresh fruit notes accompanied by gentle tannins - soft and delicate. Smooth drinking now but if patience permits, even better in 5 years time.
