Nerobufaleffj Gulfi 2018

Gulfi

Nerobufaleffj comes from a historic parcel of land in Pachino, from bush-trained vines that are more than 40 years old and not irrigated. A Nero d'Avola persuasive, with ethereal aromas, spicy undertones and suggestions of earthiness and hydrocarbons. Balanced and imposing, silky and round, with a tannic texture of great finesse and a beautiful saline vein that lends freshness and incisiveness to the flavors

NEROBUFALEFFJ GULFI 2018 DESCRIPTION

Gulfi's Nerobufaleffj is one of the most famous labels of this celebrated Sicilian winery, which has been able to interpret and enhance, like no other, the territory of the Chiaramonte area in the province of Ragusa. In the historical cradle of Nero d'Avola, Gulfi decided to undertake zoning work on the estate, subdividing it into parcels that differ in soil composition and microclimatic characteristics, A Burgundian approach to the territory, which led to the creation of four true Nero d'Avola crus, each capable of giving a wine endowed with a distinct expressive personality. Shades of the territory allow us to discover some of the best versions of the great Sicilian red.

Gulfi's Nero d'Avola Nerobufaleffj is made from the grapes of old vines cultivated with the alberello system in a parcel of the estate located in the contrada of the same name near Pachino, just off the coast. The Mediterranean climate, influenced by sea breezes and the soil characterized by the abundant presence of sands and limestone components, helps to give Nero d'Avola an elegant structure and a savoury streak that characterize it in a distinctive way. At the end of the classic red wine vinification with maceration on the skins, the wine matures for 24 months in French oak barriques and ends the ageing period with a few months in the bottle.

The Nerobufaleffj wine from the Sicilian Gulfi winery represents the elegant, complex and marine face of a great Nero d'Avola from Pachino. The goblet has a dark ruby-red colour. The olfactory profile is rich and multifaceted, with aromas of small dark berry fruits, black currant, ripe blackberry, cherry, hints of dark chocolate, carob, floral nuances, herbs, rhubarb, spicy and roasted sensations. The palate has a good structure, interwoven with dense and ripe tannins, which blend harmoniously in a dense sip of aromas, capable of combining rich fruit with refined tertiary notes. The finish is very persistent, fresh and savoury. One of the best versions of Nero d'Avola on the market.
