2013 Gulfi Neromaccarj

The 2013 Sicilia Neromà ccarj bursts open with dark fruit intensity, including dried cherry and blackberry confit. Like the other wines in this series of single-vineyard Nero d'Avola wines, this expression produces above-average density, darkness and richness. But the Neromà ccarj also offers an elegant side that comes forth, thanks to the contained intensity and the firm delineation of its aromas. Smoke, tar and black olive appear on the close. The Maccari vineyard site is almost at sea level and has limestone, clay and rocky soils that are rich with organic matter. Only 3,200 bottles were made. Review Date: December 2018
