Gulfi, NeroSanlore Nero d'Avola Sicilia 2013

93 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
"The 2013 Sicilia Nerosanloré is a rich and plush red wine with a mid-weight approach backed by lots of rich fiber and fruity thickness. The house style at Gulfi always prizes ripeness and higher-than-average concentration. Blackberry preserves and cherry confit are backed by spice, sweet tobacco and sticky tar. The San Lorenzo vineyard site enjoys the highest altitude of all these cru sites. It is located at 600 meters above sea level and has red sandy soils. Only 3,800 bottles were produced."

93 points James Suckling
"I love the intense herb-liqueur and balsamic-vinegar character on the nose, also because its married to delicious richness. Still very lively for a five-year-old red and the balance of ripeness and rather supple tannins is impressive. Long finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold."

Vinous Reverie Notes
NeroSanloré is a cru of the Nero d'Avola grape variety with floral characteristics. Sanolré: the most marine and insinuating Nero d'Avola. Its aromatic particularity makes it a perfect wine for fish sauces and dense fish soups; truly stimulating accompanied by elaborate Mediterranean risotto and pasta dishes in which one encounters tomatoes, herbs, capers, olive oil and eventually vegetables and blue fish. If you wish to have it with meat, try it with the most perfumed and silky in particular, lamb or goat.
