The Palari 2016 Rosso del Soprano is an indigenous blend of Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Cappuccio, Nocera, Acitana, Galatena, Jacché and Core 'e Palumba grapes, all representing some of the most curious and promising varieties of Sicily. The Palari house style always promises leanness and elegance, and this vintage delivers exactly those things. The bouquet shows pretty hints of dried raspberry and fragolino di bosco, and those forest-like primary notes are followed by autumnal leaf, earth, balsam herb and wild mint. This is a spritely and fresh red blend with a rather wild and unusual mountainous Sicilian character. The finish is a little dry and dusty, showing some light bottle evolution. Annual production is between 15,000 and 18,000 bottles.
