A more serious version of Sicily’s signature red, Nero d’Avola with some oak treatment. Richer with noticeable oak and some “work “. Quite dry tannins. Cannot see ageing benefiting this overly. The oak influence will impress naive palates so that may be Gulfis aim?

Oct 13th, 2017Stewed fruit, over extracted, porty finish. I don’t know if this is the style (Sicilian) or I got a dud bottle, not for me in any case. 14€/$21

Oct 4th, 2017Saturday night and I have for the first time opened a Nero d'Avola, the 2013 Gulfi Nerojbleo from Sicily.
The nose reveals notes of black cherry, black plum, dried herbs, licorice, tobacco, dried floral notes, oak and clay dust.
On the palate I am getting good fruit, black cherry, blueberry, black plum, licorice, leather, dried herbs, and dry soil.
You will find this wine to be full bodied with medium + acidity and high grippy mouth coating tannins that lead to a long fruit filled finish. I'm enjoying my weekend hoping you are too. Please be careful out there and be safe. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

Yes please. Despite the label, this is bomb titties. Beautiful raspberry red color. On the nose, strawberry (wild) with notes of blackberry liquor and fig. One hell of a wine all around

2010 seems a little bit overworked. A bit unbalanced, maybe needing some more time before opening. Has potential.
