Review
The darkly alluring 2017 Imperium Rosso lifts from the glass with a bouquet of sweet violets, lavender, blackberries and exotic brown spices. This is silky and deeply textural, with sapid black fruits and minerals that saturate while leaving fine tannins that add cheek-puckering tension toward the close. The 2017 finishes lightly structured and classically dry, leaving purple-toned inner florals and hints of licorice to linger long. I love the balance here, yet a year or two of cellaring is recommended. The Imperium Rosso is a blend of 70% Nero d'Avola, 20% Nocera and 10% Nerello Mascalese.

This has aromas of blackberries, blackcurrants, tobacco, iodine and bay leaves. Medium-bodied with lightly chewy tannins. Savory. Nero d'Avola, nocera and nerello mascalese. Drink now or hold.
