2016 Nerosanlore

The 2016 NeroSanloré (with 6,500 bottles produced) is one of various single-vineyard expressions of Nero d'Avola made by the folks at Gulfi. This wine shows a ripe and slightly soft side with cherry marmalade and blackberry confit. The Sicilian sun shines bright from deep within the concentrated and rich core. Those dark fruit tones cede slowly to black olive, scorched earth and grilled fennel seed. There is a sudden note of sourness on the close that you sometimes get with this mighty Sicilian grape.
