Nerobaronj is no ordinary Nero d'Avola, but a deeply rooted homage to origin and style. The name plays with the aristocratic title and grape variety – and refers to the self-confident profile of a wine that sets new standards with its concentration and elegance. The grapes come from the south of Sicily, not far from Noto, from old bush vines on calcareous clay soil. Organic cultivation, hand-picking and strict selection ensure a high degree of precision. The wine is matured for 24 months in barriques and tonneaux, followed by long bottle ageing.

The depth is already evident in the glass: dark ruby red with a purple centre. The bouquet is multi-layered and impressive: black cherry, blackberry, warm spices, some leather and balsamic nuances, underpinned by mineral freshness. Dense and powerful on the palate, with juicy fruit, lively acidity and silky, ripe tannins. The texture is soft, the length striking – a harmonious arc of tension that masterfully combines origin and ageing. A Nero d'Avola with an aristocratic demeanour and Sicilian soul. SUPERIORE.DE

"Smoke, balsamic blackberries and baked black cherries on the nose. Rich and medium to full-bodied on the palate with supportive, fine tannins and a long, enveloping finish. Very fine-grained." James Suckling

"Deep aromas of black cherry, plum jam, sage and clove are underpinned by animal musk as the 2019 NeroBaronj shimmers from the glass. It flows across the palate like pure silk, refined and seamless, with ripe wild berry fruit and exotic citrus tones contrasting towards the finish. The 2019 has a long finish, but closes with youthful composure, allowing the fine tannins to linger. Notes of sour cherries remain present for a while. This is elegance personified." Vinous
