Nero d'Avola as you've never tasted before. Gulfi have breathed a life into this grape that no one else has. From the area surrounding Noto, just outside of Avola, the Nero d'Avola grapes for Rossojbleo are selected from various vineyards in Chiaramonete Gulfi and Ragoletti. The vines are trained according to the traditional Alberello method. Harvest occurs mid-September, after which there is a short maceration period at a controlled temperature. Fermentation and malolactic fermentation in stainless steel. A few months of refinement before bottling and release.
Ruby red with violet reflections. Fragrant with red berries, cherries and plum. Very fresh, easy-drinking and harmonious.
From Sicily’s extreme south-eastern tip, stretching up to the wild volcanic slopes of Etna, Gulfi’s vineyards can be found in some of islands most interesting and expressive viticultural areas. Raffaele Catania started making Gulfi wines in the 70’s, at this stage just Nerojbleo grown on the Ibleo mountains. In 1995 Raffaele’s son Vito took over, with a vision to expand their offerings and make the best Nero d’Avola wines available. Three generations of knowledge, experience and winemaking traditions have now been passed down through the Catania family. Their philosophy, to nurture and develop native Sicilian grapes varieties, working organically with very old vines and a minimal intervention approach to winemaking. Today Gulfi is run by Vito’s two sons Matteo and Raffaele who have only further strengthened the reputation of this exemplary estate.
