Morgante

Zartes Lachsrosa. In der Nase duftige Noten nach Zitrus, Rosenblättern und Erdbeeren. Im Trunk mit schöner Mineralität, einer knackigen Süffigkeit und Frische. Eine gute Dosis Säure und vor allem sein sehr geringer Restzucker prädestinieren ihn zum charaktervollen und rassigen Begleiter leichter Fisch- und Gemüsegerichte. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2020 Rosé di Morgante is peachy and floral with sweet spices and a hint of fresh mint. This Nero d’Avola Rosato impresses further with an energetic display on the palate that mixes ripe orchard fruits with zesty acids and salty mineral tones. A bit more length would win this another point in my corner; that said, it’s hard to complain following the mouthwatering and cool-toned finale." Vinous

"A pretty pink color and a lovely nose of strawberries and raspberries. Medium-bodied with a super-clean, fruity palate. Hint of almond cream at the end." James Suckling

Bianco di Morgante ist ein reinsortiger Nero d'Avola. Die typische sizilianische rote Traube wurde allerdings ohne Schalenkontakt vinifiziert, und so entstand dieser sehr gelungene und außergewöhnlich finessenreiche Weißwein. Seidig und glänzend besticht dieser experimentelle Wein mit Balance, Frische und Leichtigkeit. SUPERIORE.DE

"A rich and spicy display of dried apple and nectarine is offset by honeyed florals as the 2020 Bianco di Morgante opens up in the glass. This is soft in feel, with juicy acids and notes of zesty citrus that keep the energy high throughout. Young peach, mango and salty minerals linger as the Bianco di Morgante tapers off with cheek-puckering freshness. Very nice." Vinous

"Aromas and flavors of apples and lemons, with a hint of bread crust. Almost full-bodied, clean and fruity. Very pleasant to drink now." James Suckling

Dunkler, konzentrierter Nero d'Avola mit reichem Bouquet, einladender, intensiver Himbeerfrucht und süßem Tannin. Ein gehaltvoller Roter mit schöner Würze und einem tollen Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. SUPERIORE.DE

"Wild peppery herbs and flowers waft up from the 2018 Nero d'Avola. This impresses with a soothing display of ripe black fruits, enlivened by vibrant acidity. Purple-tinged inner florals form toward the close. Salty mineral tones, blackberries and hints of sour citrus linger long as this tapers off with a bitter twang. The 2018 is harmonious and very easy to like. It may not be a wine for the cellar, but it will certainly win a lot of hearts right out of the gate." Vinous

Don Antonio Riserva ist die beste Selektion aus den Morgante-Weinbergen, in denen ausschließlich Nero d'Avola gedeiht. Konzentrierte und eindringliche Aromen, sehr sortentypisch, reife Früchte, die mit mineralischen und balsamischen Noten einhergehen. Am Gaumen lebendig und zugleich elegant. SUPERIORE.DE

"Behold the venerable Don Antonio, one of the first wines to put Nero d'Avola on the world map of native grapes. On the label of the 2016 Sicilia Nero d'Avola Riserva Don Antonio, you'll notice that this wine is now identified as a Riserva, making use of the newly expanded appellation laws of the Sicilia DOC. This is a beautiful medium to full-bodied wine with the type of extraction and thickness that we remember from vintages past and the typical characteristics of the grape. Black fruit and Morello cherry is followed by black olive, grilled fennel, scorched earth and toasted pistachio with bitter chocolate. The aromas are all Sicily." Robert Parker

"This elegant, medium- to full-bodied version wraps fine, chalky tannins in a concentrated range of black cherry coulis, fig cake, graphite and star anise flavors. Long and sleek on the finish, with fragrant herb and mineral notes." Wine Spectator

"The 2015 Sicilia Nero d'Avola Riserva Don Antonio delivers an explosive bouquet that is comprised of equal parts dark fruit, spice and savory tobacco. This wine sees 20 days of fermentation on the skins and finishes up with malolactic fermentation in steel vats. It then ages in French barrique for 12 months. It's a standard winemaking approach for an exceptional expression of Sicily's most important red grape. This is a medium to full-bodied red with ample texture and roundness on the finish. Do you feel that 15% alcohol?" Robert Parker

"The 2015 Nero d'Avola Riserva Don Antonio is dark and brooding with a rich display of plum sauce, lavender, clove, hints of brown sugar and tobacco. Here I’m finding soft textures matched by depths of ripe black fruit that flesh out across the palate, leaving a tactile coating of minerals and grippy tannin in their wake. This is persistent and primary but also youthfully structured, just begging for a few years of cellaring to fully come together. With all of the intensity found within, you could almost convince yourself that the 2015 Don Antonio is ready to drink today, but the best is truly yet to come." Vinous

"Fine-grained tannins are layered with a creamy mix of crushed black cherry, dried thyme and citrus peel notes in this harmonious, medium- to full-bodied red. Long and spiced on the fresh finish." Wine Spectator

"A more reserved and tight nero d'avola in nature than many with aromas and flavors of blackberries, mineral and black tea, Yet, it is always subtle and linear. Medium body and a fresh finish." James Suckling

"Carmelo Morgante makes a fine Nero d'Avola. The 2013 Sicilia Nero d'Avola Don Antonio is one of his best creations so far. The wine is dark and impenetrable and loaded tight with bold fruit intensity. It shows a careful measure of heft and power that leaves a deep impression but that does't feel too heavy or thick. Despite its big bones, the wine maintains its grace and elegance. Deep concentration - driven by oak flavors of spice and chocolate - push the wine forward over the palate." Robert Parker

Ein Klassiker aus dem Zentrum der Insel: Don Antonio 2012 zeichnet sich durch seine volle Beerenfruchtaromatik und Noten von würzigen Kräutern und Blüten aus. Vollmundig und geschmeidig mit viel Charakter und einem schönen langen Waldfruchtfinale. Überrascht bei aller Struktur mit seiner Eleganz. SUPERIORE.DE

"Finely meshed and harmonious, with a skein of spice unraveling through the plumped cherry, smoke, mocha and herbes de Provence flavors. The lightly chewy tannins are supple on the juicy finish." Wine Spectator

"Boldly structured, this brawny wine opens with aromas of mature black-skinned fruit, exotic spice and a whiff of toasted oak. The generous, chewy palate offers fleshy black cherry, raspberry, licorice, cinnamon and cocoa alongside velvety tannins. You'll also detect the warmth of alcohol but the dense fruit richness easily supports it." Wine Enthusiast

"Previously an IGT wine, Morgante's Don Antonio is now a Sicilia DOC. The 2012 Sicilia Nero d'Avola Don Antonio offers one of the most beautiful and complete portraits of this promising indigenous grape from southern Italy. This is an elaborate wine with a strong oak imprint that has done much to soften and smooth out any of the grape's rough edges. The bouquet reveals dark fruit, spice, tobacco and wet earth or terra-cotta. The wine's concentration is bold and richly layered." Robert Parker

"Made from native grape Nero d'Avola, this offers intense aromas of blackberry, pepper and menthol with whiffs of toasted oak. The palate delivers a tight core of sour cherry and blackberry layered with spicy pepper, cinnamon and espresso." Wine Enthusiast

"A very polished and refined nero d'avola with sour cherries, chocolate and hints of toasted oak. Full body, loads of fruit and a juicy finish. Serious red from Sicily." Robert Parker

Mit opulenten, komplexen und harmonischen Eindrücken, aus denen intensiv rote Beeren hervorstechen, umfängt er die Nase. Beeindruckend warm und reichhaltig der Geschmack, der auf einer samtigen Unterlage weit um sich greift und dabei durch seine Kraft genauso beeindruckt wie durch seine lange Persistenz. Ein großartiger Tropfen geprägt durch Finesse und Eleganz. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2008 Nero d'Avola Riserva Don Antonio is fabulous in this vintage. It is a decidedly cool, inward Don Antonio. A persistent vein of minerality supports layers of dark fruit, mint and smoke in this tightly coiled, energetic finish. Varietal notes swirl around in the glass as the wine build towards the generous finish." Vinous

"Shows ripe plum and maraschino cherry on the nose, with hints of licorice and fresh oak. Full and sturdy, with intense black fruit and dried herb flavors driving through and leaving an almost saline mineral aftertaste. Well-structured. This complex, engaging wine will improve in the bottle, but it's tempting now." Wine Spectator

Eine spannende Rarität: urwüchsiges, originäres Weinunikat aus den privaten Beständen der Kellerei. Intensiv rot leuchtend im Glas, von dunkelorangen Reflexen durchsetzt. Einnehmend der Duft nach reifen roten Beeren und orientalischen Gewürzen. Eleganz, Finesse und Nachhaltigkeit prägen den Geschmack, der sich dicht über den Gaumen legt und trotz seines höheren Alters eine schöne Frucht, seidige Tannine und eine charaktervolle Reifenote offenlegt.

"The 2004 Nero d'Avola Don Antonio is a selection made from the estate's finest fruit and aged for 12 months in French oak. This beautiful red presents an attractive array of smokiness, tar and dark plums/prunes with outstanding length, well-integrated oak and finessed tannins. Made in a rich, concentrated style, it needs a few years in bottle before it expresses its maximum potential. Brothers Carmelo and Giovanni Morgante named the wine in honor of their father, Antonio Morgante." Vinous
