Gulfi’s 2005 Neromaccarj is a dark, brooding wine that shows the darker side of Nero d’Avola in its wild cherries, plums, scorched earth, melted road tar, minerals and smoke. Despite the wine’s imposing structure, there is plenty of clarity and definition. This dramatic, large-scaled wine should continue to offer superb drinking over the next few years. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2019.
Gulfi is one of my favorite producers of fine Nero d’Avola. These four top selections explore different facets of this native variety and are all compelling, each in their own way.
