Details of wine
It starts from the symbol of the Gulfi winery represented by Eros and Psyche as an expression of pleasure and love for the land in which this Nero d'Avola comes to life. Nerojbleo, the grape symbol of the Ragusa area, represents a very important achievement of these grapes grown on the hills of the Iblei mountains at about 450 meters above sea level, immersed in a temperate climate in winter and dry in summer.
From totally organic praticeh a red wine is obtained fully representative of the Sicilian territory, perfect in its aromatic expression well mixed between an enveloping softness and a pleasant sapidity.
Aging takes place for 12 months in French barriques and tonneaux, making it round and velvety, with a deep bouquet where berries and black cherries stand out, with a vein of tobacco. On the palate it is dense, with returns of blackberry, cinnamon and aromatic herbs.
It goes very well with red meats, game and aged cheeses.
