This has aromas of porcini mushrooms, cooked cherries, blackberries, dried herbs, balsamic and licorice. Medium-bodied with crunchy acidity and firm, integrated tannins. Flavorful. Nocera and nerello mascalese. From organically grown grapes. Drink now or hold.

Review
There's a mentholated freshness to the 2016 Imperium Rosso Riserva, which enlivens its bouquet of crushed blueberries, savory herbs, violets and ashen stone. This is round and silky in feel without any hard edges to be found, while displaying ripe red and blue fruits that coat the palate and leave a staining of minerality toward the close. The 2016 tapers off long yet refreshing and only lightly structured, as notes of black currant and lavender slowly fade. This is showing beautifully today, yet it also has the balance to excel through medium-term cellaring. The Imperium Rosso Riserva is a blend of 70% Nero d'Avola, 20% Nocera and 10% Nerello Mascalese.
