Don Antonio is not only a great and powerful wine, it is also a monument. Dedicated to the father of the Morgante family, this Nero d'Avola embodies the quintessence of the passion with which vines have been cultivated in the hills of Grotte for generations. The grapes come from old vines and the best altitudes of up to 500 metres, where day-night temperature fluctuations, limestone soils and the sea breeze favour a Mediterranean but wonderfully developed profile. After temperature-controlled fermentation, the wine is aged for twelve months in French barriques, followed by a further maturation phase in the bottle.

Deep, dark ruby colour with a black core in the glass. The nose opens warm and classy: black cherry, plum, cedar wood, dried herbs, liquorice, chocolate and a hint of tobacco. Generous on the palate, but not overloaded: Juicy fruit fullness meets precise tannin structure, underpinned by fine acidity and mineral depth. The long, concentrated final reveals balsamic notes and fine roasted flavours – complex, mature, but with potential for years to come. Don Antonio is a Sicilian commitment to elegance: powerful but disciplined, rich but never loud – a wine with a lot of tradition, but even more future. SUPERIORE.DE
