Critic tasting note: "Aromas of French oak, Mediterranean scrub and blue flower are front and center on this vibrant blend of Nero d'Avola and Perricone. The palate is still primary and youthfully austere, offering blackberry, cranberry, licorice and tobacco alongside notes of sage and thyme. Assertive, close-grained tannins provide grippy support and a drying, clenching finish. Give it time to unwind and fully develop. Drink 2025–2036. Kerin O’Keefe" - 91/100, Wine Enthusiast

- Producer Tasting Notes
-
The Rosso del Conte is a faithful expression of its terroir, recalling the high hills in the heart of Sicily. On the aromatic level, Rosso del Conte never exaggerates in overripe notes, while guaranteeing full phenolic ripeness. A wine that is exuberant, vibrant, and energetic in its youth, with aging it develops a velvety touch, without losing structure and flavor.

2016 Vintage
Tasted: Aug 2021
(Ein «Super-Tasca», von den ältesten Parzellen der Tenuta Regaleali. Die alten Buschreben gedeihen auf Lehm und Kalkböden die am oberen Teil des Hügels mit Sandanteil versehen sind. 53% Nero d’Avola, 47% Perricone, temperaturkontrolliert im Stahltank vergoren, danach während 18 Monaten in neuen 225 Liter-Barriques aus französischer Allier- und Tronçais-Eiche ausgebaut, 22 Monate Flaschenreife. 14.0% Alkohol, pH 3.45, Gesamtsäure 6.7 g/l, Restzucker 2-4 g/l, Gesamtextrakt 30-3 g/l). Dichtes Rubinrot. Die Nase ist hier ein kleines Spektakel, tiefgründig, vielschichtig, frisch und wunderbar würzig, ich könnte Eintauchen, stundenlang Schnüffeln, das Spektrum an Aromen ist sehr breit, dunkle Früchte, Pflaumen, Gewürze, Lakritze, Pfeffer. Im Gaumen frisch und balanciert, knackige Brombeerfrucht, viel exotische Würze, kräftig, saftig, präzis, die Frucht wird gekontert von Säure und reifem Tannin, der Wein wirkt ungemein lebhaft und energiegeladen, besticht trotz Konzentration mit hervorragender Frische. Im Abgang ausgewogen, langanhaltend und mit feiner Würze. Grandios, authentisch, zeigt Klasse und Rasse. Schon heute gut, mit Potenzial für viele Jahre. Jetzt bis 2035, 94 vvPunkte.

Tasted: Oct 2020
Powerful ruby hue. Very intense and appealing nose, blackberries, blueberries and plum with a little cinnamon. Crisp, vivid fruit, overt blackberry on the attack, grippy, very well-integrated tannins, lovely traction and a long fresh fruit finish.

Die Fassprobe des Jahrgangs 2016 zeigte sich von ihrer ausgewogenen Seite mit optimal ausgereiften Trauben: Komplexe Nase nach dunklen Waldfrüchten, galant verfeinert mit Noten von Kräutern und Pfeffer; hervorragende Machart mit optimalen Tanninen, vereint Schliff und Finesse bis ins Finale. Sollte ein Rosso del Conte werden, wie er im Buche steht.

The 2016 vintage was mostly excellent.
It was an El Niño year, which heavily influences weather systems, particularly in the Southern Hemisphere. Europe tends to be less affected.
And in Europe, France enjoyed a wonderful year. Bordeaux was excellent and could well be legendary, although more time is perhaps needed to truly ...
