2019 Tasca Rosso del Conte 6pk

95 Points – Vinous

The palate is soft and round, with juicy acidity and crisp berry fruits elevated by a hint of tangerine and spice. The 2019 maintains fantastic energy despite its youthfully structured state. Sweet tannins frame a lasting note of tart cherry that lingers for well over a minute. I followed the 2019 over the course of 24 hours and it only got better each time I checked in on it.

The 2019 is one of the wines of the vintage and a testament to the potential of the Perricone variety, which lends a distinctive spiciness.
