Parker about Rosso del Conte Contea di Sclafani 2016
The Tasca Conti d'Almerita 2016 Sicilia Contea di Sclafani Rosso del Conte Tenuta Regaleali is a historic estate blend of Nero d'Avola and Perricone, and it is the latest release of a wine that forever changed the enological future of Sicily by pegging it to a quality-driven production philosophy. The wine is darkly saturated and boasts pretty dark garnet concentration. Both grapes impart a lasting Sicilian imprint on the bouquet with those aromas of toasted fennel, pistachio and black olive that are always associated with this school of winemaking. The wine sits tight and long on the palate, thanks to its generous (but not overdone) full-bodied style.
Suckling over Rosso del Conte Contea di Sclafani 2016
This is a really pretty Sicilian red with dried-cherry, smoke, walnut and mushroom aromas and flavors. The sour-cherry character kicks in at the finish. Drinkable now, but better in two or three years.

Rosso del Conte Contea di Sclafani 2016
The 2016 Rosso del Conte Contea di Sclafani from Tasca d'Almerita is an outstanding Sicilian wine that reflects the region's tradition and terroir. This wine is made from a blend of carefully selected Sicilian grape varieties grown in the winery's own vineyards.
The 2016 vintage is characterized by its elegance, complexity, and structure. In the glass, the wine presents a deep ruby red color with violet nuances. The bouquet is intense and complex, with aromas of ripe dark fruits such as black cherries, blackberries, and plums, accompanied by spicy notes of tobacco, chocolate, vanilla, and a hint of Mediterranean herbs.
On the palate, the Rosso del Conte is full-bodied and smooth, with ripe tannins and a lively acidity that provides excellent structure and longevity. The fruit flavors continue, complemented by complex notes of spice and a subtle minerality. The finish is long and harmonious.
This wine is ideal for pairing with hearty dishes such as grilled meats, game, mature cheeses, or pasta with rich sauces. It can be enjoyed immediately but also has great potential for aging in the cellar for many years.
