"The 2007 Rosso del Conte is the estate's flagship. After a period of experimentation, Rosso del Conte is now back to being predominantly Nero d'Avola, with a 5% dollop of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. It shows marvelous richness and intensity in a slightly cool, reserved style relative to some of the more exuberant vintages. Mint, roasted espresso beans and mocha add complexity to the beautifully delineated, polished fruit. The 2008 is a gorgeous Rosso del Conte, but it needs time. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2028."
