Dark depths of exotic spice, dried flowers and crushed stone complement musky red currants and rose petals as the aromatically stunning 2021 Rosso del Gnemiz Dott. Palazzolo smolders up from the glass. This flows across the palate with silky, polished textures and crisp wild berry fruits, gaining energy through a core of brilliant acidity as saline minerals saturate toward the close. It finishes cool-toned and fresh but is also full of tension, leaving a staining of primary concentration and fine-grained tannins that resonate. Bury these deep in your cellar and reap the reward in another five to ten years. The Dott. Palazzolo is a blend of 60% Cabernet Franc, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot.
