Gulfi

Blasses Rosa. Duftet fein nach Erdbeeren und Kräutern, am Gaumen wieder Kräuter und eine interessante Kirschnote. Saftig und einnehmend der Gesamteindruck. SUPERIORE.DE

"Fresh aromas of red cherries and brambleberries with a hint of ash. Medium-bodied with clean, balanced acidity and a crisp finish, leaving a long, peach-skin aftertaste. Sprightly and delicious." James Suckling

Valcanzjria ist eine Cuvée aus Chardonnay, Carricante und Albanello. Duftet mit einer feinen frisch-oxidativen Note nach weißen Blumen und Limetten, vollmundig und dabei frisch im Geschmack. Der aufmerksame Verkoster findet die terroirtypischen Spuren des Feuersteins. SUPERIORE.DE

Applaus verdient der Carjcanti von eigenen Rebflächen vom Etna. Gelb, mit grünen Reflexen. An Apfel, Ananas, braune Butter und Zimt erinnert das Bouquet, sehr aromatisch am Gaumen, lang. SUPERIORE.DE

"Smells like fruit cocktail with pears, pineapple, green melon and some fruit candy and honey. Fresh and tight on the palate with bright, zesty lemon and fresh-pineapple flavors and a touch of bitter grapefruit on the long, tight and fresh finish. Delicious carricante, keeping the interest level high throughout." James Suckling

Süße Kirschen, getrocknete Blumen, Lakritze und Gewürze im Bouquet. Auch am Gaumen setzt sich der elegante Stil mit seidigem Tannin und Zurückhaltung in allen Komponenten fort. Ein mittelkräftiger, tänzelnder Roter mit allen Vorzügen des vulkanischen Terroirs vom Etna. SUPERIORE.DE

"Deep crimson. Lifted strawberry nose and refreshing raspberry fruit. Richly tannic but fits the concentrated fruit like a glove. Very young and firm and long." Jancis Robinson

"Notes of berries, cherries and hints of dried spice. Medium-bodied, tight palate and a medium, fruity finish. Pleasant nucleus of fruit, but slightly restrained now. Interesting red from nerello mascalese." James Suckling

Dunkle Farbe, schönes Bouquet aus mediterranen Kräutern und balsamischen Noten, reife, fruchtige Schattenmorelle, reich an seidigen Tanninen, der prachtvolle Nero d'Avola-Lagenwein Neromaccarj. SUPERIORE.DE

"From a low-altitude, sea-facing vineyard site, the 2016 NeroMàccarj shows the ripe and succulent side of Nero d'Avola. The wine opens to an inky dark appearance with aromas that are thick and broad, creating a tall wall of plummy black fruit. The wine is very immediate and impactful, and you don't need to do too much digging before you recognize all those broad-brush aromas on the bouquet. That bitterness that you sometimes get in the NeroSanloré does not appear here. Some 6,500 bottles were released." Robert Parker

"Deep ruby. Amazing floral and spicy nose of black fruit, herbs and grilled steak. Then rich and tactile, but vibrant and energetic, with well delineated flavors similar to the aromas. Finishes long with mounting but relatively polished tannic bite." Vinous

"Ripe wild strawberries, light minerals and spices open up on the full-bodied palate, getting fresher and adding bundles of minerals and dry spice. Complex and well integrated. Delicious nero d'avola." James Suckling

Nerobafaleffj ist ein sehr ungewöhnlicher Wein für Sizilien. Er bietet eine aromatische Intensität, wie man sie sonst nirgends in Süditalien findet. Das Bouquet ist explosiv mit kräftigen Kirschen, getrockneten Brombeeren, Tabak und Gewürzen. Subtile Anklänge von Zimt und zerdrückter Nelke. Ein exotischer Roter von hoher Konzentration und Kraft mit einem wunderbar komplexen, langen Abgang. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2016 NeroBufaleffj is a bit tighter and greener perhaps compared to the other two single-vineyard expressions of Nero d'Avola I tasted from Gulfi in this flight. This is a mid-weight wine with bright cherry, sour plum, wet earth and grilled aromas of Sicilian herb or wild fennel and caper seed. The Bufaleffi growing site shows mixed soils, and you get some rusty nail and crushed limestone here as well. Some 6,500 bottles were made." Robert Parker

"Luminous deep red. Aromas of red cherry, minerals, Oriental spices and vanilla on the refined nose. Then luscious, rich, deep and multilayered with spices, herbs and aromatic oak notes dominating the underlying red and spicy flavors beneath. Finishes long but with less than the usual nectar-like quality that typifies this cru; undoubtedly, a much more elegant version of Nerobufaleffj, a wine that often reaches Amarone-like levels of richness and lusciousness. This very young wine is a potential knockout; still brooding and folded upon itself; it’s a beauty that requires time in your cellar, and watch it develop into something special." Vinous

Ein außergewöhnlich charakter- und kraftvoller Nero d'Avola ist der Nerosanloré. Von einem wunderschönen Weinberg in Pacchino, dem Ursprungsgebiet der berühmten Rebe. Mineralisch, vital, reif, elegant, langer Abgang. SUPERIORE.DE

"Lots of redcurrants here on the nose, as well as a hint of chocolate and turkish delight. Full-bodied and very silky with well integrated tannins and a burst of fresh pomegranate and mineral on the finish. Complexity." James Suckling

"Luminous red. Precise, brooding aromas of ripe red cherry, flint, orange rind, cinnamon, lavender and violet, complicated by iodine and earth. Silky and sappy with refined but very concentrated extract, this smothers the taste buds but stays vibrant and not at all heavy, offering lovely definition and lift to the red cherry, raspberry, floral and mineral flavors. Finishes extremely deep and long, with ultra-suave tannins, mesmerizing inner-mouth perfume and extreme refinement; very Barolo-like. A lovely multilayered wine showcasing the elegant side of Nero d’Avola that very few producers ever manage to showcase." Vinous
