Donnafugata
Mille e Una Notte Contessa Entellina Nero d'Avola
Contessa Entellina, Palermo, Sicily, Italy
A captivating display of blackberry, plum, grilled herbs, cedar dust and balsamic spice wafts up from the 2016 Mille e una Notte. It’s silky in texture and polished in feel, offering ripe black fruits lifted by cooling minerality. This remains tightly wound up in its youthful state, as a fine coating of sweet tannin settles in to create a structured finale, with pretty purple-tinged florals and hints of licorice lingering long. The 2016 may be one of the most refined expressions of Mille e Una Notte that I’ve ever tasted, but it will need some time to show its best. This is composed primarily of Nero D'Avola, Petit Verdot and Syrah, which is expertly refined in new barriques for 14 months. (Eric Guido, Vinous, June 2021)

The Flagship Red from Donnafugata. 90% Nero d’Avola 5% Petit Verdot; 5% Syrah. In high quality French Oak for 16 months A higher intensity nose than the palate ultimately delivers. A restrained yet structured Red with M+ Intensity and soft tannins.

Oct 21st, 2017From magnum. The Flagship Red from Donnafugata. 90% Nero d’Avola; 5% Petit Verdot and 5% Syrah. Lovely wine but very New World and modern with loads of quality French new oak. Blackberry fruit. Could have been s high quality Barossa Shiraz except the Nero d’Avola turns it into s medium bodied not full bodied wine. Would like to see it in 5+ years when the oak may have settled down.

👁️ Глубокий рубин с виноградными оттенками
🍇 Nero d'Avola
В аромате яркая свежая черника, пряности на базе гвоздики, освежающий ментол, подгоревшая в костре древесина.
Тело плотное, сухое, со средней+ кислотностью и большим количеством терпких приятных танинов. Во вкусе черничный джем, пряный табак, финики, немного копченостей и древесины.
Финиш долгий, минеральный, с нотками табака и дыма.

Not sure if it's on the backside or if it's just a gentle wine. Had big red fruit, dark cherry, plum, etc. But still felt light in the mouth. Not a long finish, but seemed well balanced.
