For the longest time, Sicily’s Tasca d’Almerita’s Rosso del Conte was (along with Mastroberardino’s Taurasi) southern Italy’s greatest and most famous red wine. Besides showcasing the merits of the island’s Nero d’Avola grape, Rosso del Conte proved that Italy’s south could also produce world class, age-worthy reds. Rosso del Conte was also the first single vineyard wine ever produced in Sicily.

The wines in this tasting were sourced directly from the estate and tasted in September 2016. They were tasted from oldest to youngest in the company of Alberto Tasca d’Almerita, who prefers to taste them in this manner. Readers might also like to refer to the a similar vertical reported on by Antonio Galloni seven years ago; I thought it would be fascinating to check up on this wine after all this time and see how it has been evolving, plus add in a few new, significant, vintages given all the changes that have taken place, for comparison’s sake.
