2016 Il Censo "700" Nero d'Avola Rosso

Neal Rosenthal writes: “The “700” refers to the meters of altitude at which the Nero d’Avola at Il Censo is planted. This wine offers a beguiling combination of plushness and tension, with fruits in the dark-red part of the spectrum, and plenty of driving energy. Nero d’Avola can often be one-note even when it is perfectly delicious, but not here, as this inaugural vintage shows the true potential of Il Censo’s terroir for the production of great red wine."
