Gulfi Nerojbleo 2023

Terre Siciliane Rosso IGT, Sicily, Italy

Gulfi Nerojbleo is a beautiful red wine gem of Nero d’Avola from Sicily. Nero d’Avola is named after Avola, a small town near Pachino in the province of Siracusa (near Ragusa) selected by local growers several hundred years ago. Nero d'Avola is the most important red wine grape in Sicily and it is one of Italy's most important indigenous varieties. “Our objective is to preserve our land so as to pass on what our forefathers left us: over 2000 years of history, culture and hard work so that we can hand over to our sons and daughters an integral land, that is immense in its beauty and richness.” Gulfi wines are certified organic.

“The Catania family harvests this nero d’Avola from several vineyards near their estate in the Vittoria zone. Here in the foothills of the Iblei Mountains, Gulfi’s albarello-trained vines grow in lighter soils and at higher elevations (more than 1,300 feet) than their Pachino vineyards, and the wines reflect those differences in their more lifted aromas and buoyant flavors.”—Wine & Spirits

Gulfi Nerojbleo is deep ruby red in color. The nose is ethereal and intense featuring aromas of red fruit and hints of vanilla. The palate is exceptionally balanced and juicy with flavors of dried cherries, berries and hints of fresh herbs. Medium to full body with silky tannins and an excellent finish.

Enjoy Gulfi Nerojbleo over the next 8-10 years with osso buco, lasagna, grilled meats and aged cheeses.
