Following an overwhelming demand for this initial offer last week, we are very pleased to have secured an additional allocation of this significant bargain: the 95-point rated, single-vineyard 2008 Nerobaronj Nero d'Avola from Gulfi. Gulfi was founded in 1996, and has quickly become one of the best-known producers of single-vineyard Nero d'Avola on Sicily; their vineyards are located in the Val di Noto region on the south-east on the island, which is widely regarded as the finest terroir for this grape, and the source of the grapes for this wine - the Baroni vineyard - is one of the oldest and most historical sites for Nero d'Avola in Sicily. Nero d'Avola is indigenous to Sicily, and it typically displays bright cherry fruit flavors, with very lively acidity and sweet tannins. The best examples come from un-irrigated sites, and they display the generous fruit, and the concentration and balance required for succesful ageing, and this 2008 Nerobaronj fits that description perfectly. it is aged for 2 years in barrel, then a further 2 years in bottle before release, and can be enjoyed over the next 10 years.
Antonio Galloni: When I think of benchmark producers of Nero d'Avola one of the first names that comes to mind is Gulfi. The estate makes a number of single-vineyard Nero d'Avolas that provide an opportunity to explore the various shades this great Sicilian variety is capable of expressing. Gulfi's best-known wines emerge from head-trained Nero d'Avola in the Pachino and Val di Noto districts, all farmed organically.
WA 95 (2/2013): The highlight among these new releases is the 2008 Nerobaronj. An exotic melange of juicy dark cherries, freshly cut flowers, licorice and tobacco takes shape as this huge, racy wine shows off its irrepressible personality. The integrity of the fruit and the wine's sheer balance are both marvelous to behold. Layers of fruit fill out the broad-shouldered finish beautifully. In 2008, the Nerobaronj is striking in every way. I loved it. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2023.
