For the 2006 Rosso del Conte, Nero d'Avola (85%) and Perricone are joined by Syrah. It was a very controversial vintage with a short summer and high rainfalls. 'In order to achieve the highest quality vintage, in addition to the grapes from the San Lucio and Cordicella vines, we decided to select the best grapes from Girato, Cozzo delle Ginestre and Piana Gelso, all grown at an average altitude of 470 metres above sea level.' Today it shows remarkable evolution of tobacco, dried prunes, fresh leather and eucalyptus leaf, followed by more restrained toasty and cherry notes. The attack on the palate is dense, with evolved, graceful tannins. It's almost creamy and silky, with a chalky, coffee bean finish and refreshing acidity.
