Gulfi "NeroBaronj" Sicily, Italy 2018

FROM SERENDIPITY WINES:

THE WINE: 100% Nero d'Avola. The NeroBaronj seduces with its zesty display of crushed cherries, sweet exotic spices and dried roses. This is soft and round in feel, offset by bright acids and tart wild berry fruits, which creates a sweet and sour impression toward the close. Energy remains high, even as chalky mineral notes and wild herbs come forward; yet the end note here is, without a doubt, a lasting echo of vivid citrus-tinged blackberry. The NeroBaronj, a varietal Nero d'Avola, is a crowd-pleaser.

THE PRODUCER: This is the winery that launched the Nero d'Avola varietal. With four "Grand Crus" showing the peak of what it can be. Gulfi features wines from 3 different areas of Sicily Chiaramonte Gulfi in the Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG, Pachino Val di Noto and Etna.
