Don Antonio Riserva is the best selection from the Morgante vineyards, where only Nero d'Avola grows. Concentrated and hauntingaromas, very typical of the variety, ripe fruit accompanied by mineral and balsamic notes. Lively and elegant on the palate. The flagship of the winery and a prime example of the "Taste of Sicily". SUPERIORE.DE

"Intense ruby red colour. Pure fresh red wine nose with lots of dark berry fruit. Grilled herbs, menthol and black cherry, dark fine chocolate and dark baked bread. Concentrated and hauntingflavours. Subtle balsamic notes. Very typical of the variety. Elegant and fruity at the same time on the palate. A very good representative of Sicilian joie de vivre. Clearly perceptible oak with polished tannins. A hint of orange and an enormous freshness make the rather high alcohol content seem less dominant." Vinum

"The 2021 Nero d'Avola Don Antonio slowly evolves with a minty freshness that opens the stage for notes of dried black cherry, balsamic spice and shavings of cedar. Sweetly focused yet elegant and balanced, it firms up with a wave of tart wild berry fruit and a sour citrus concentration that saturates toward the close. Edgy tannins coat the palate as the 2021 finishes with outstanding length and potency, leaving a staining of raspberry and clove. While a bit cloying for my personal taste, this powerhouse will have its fans." Vinous
