Gulfi Nero d'Avola Nerojbleo 2021

Vito Catania and Salvo Foti are the two important names of Gulfi. This historical winery has made Nero d'Avola its great organic international flagship wine. Now, after Vito Catania's passing, the winery's challenge is immortalised in wines of perfect enological quality, which amaze due to their innovative and dynamic calibre. Sapling vineyards and strictly manual processing are the cornerstones that retain a very close link with the territoriality of Chiaromonte- Vigna Coste, with about 4 hectares, is the largest vineyard in the municipality, overlooking the Iblei mountains in the Ragusa area. The average altitude is 420 m a.s.l., with east-west exposure. The climate is temperate, characterised by mild winters and dry summers. All the right conditions for a typical and representative Nero d'Avola, full-bodied, rich, but elegant and subtle at the same time. A beautiful deep, lively and consistent ruby red in colour, the aroma includes a range of various, complex, incisive and powerful complex scents. What stands out is sensations of Morello cherry and jammy plum, rosehip, black pepper and cloves. And then, the finish, we even sense leather and liquorice, mint, undergrowth and bay leaf. Warm and soft, elegant and enveloping, it has a good tannic quality and a typical deep and fruity persistence, enlivened by a pleasant freshness.
