The 2011 Rosso del Soprano shows the straight lines and delineated approach that makes the wines of Palari so popular. Like the other wines from this estate, this Rosso del Soprano shows a fiery and wild side. It is a wine of character, determination and long lasting impressions. In most cases, either you love it or you don't. Whatever your preference, there is no doubting the authenticity of a wine like this. It speaks of the steep vertical vineyards of Northern Sicily and the wind-swept sea vistas of the Straights of Messina. This vintage delivers warm tones of cherry and black berry, but it also shows a prickly side with resin, dill and licorice. Smoke and graphite appear on the finish.
