2018 Gulfi Sicilia Nerosanlorè (Pre-arrival)

So pretty and floral, the 2018 NeroSanloré captivates with sweet rose and violet tones before giving way to spiced citrus, dried strawberries and hints of wood smoke. Its silky textures coat the palate with polished red and black fruits, as saline-infused minerals saturate, creating tension toward the close. A web of fine tannins grip the senses throughout the finale, while the 2018 manages to maintain marvelous freshness and gorgeous flowery perfumes. The Nerosanloré vineyard lies only 700 meters from the sea and at only 10-15 meters above sea level. In 2018, it’s the star of Gulfi’s single-vineyard Nero d’Avola lineup.”
