Dark garnet in the glass.

Evolved yet vibrant aromas of black cherry, dried fig, tobacco leaf, and worn leather. There’s a balsamic depth here that feels ancient and soulful.

On the palate, the wine is dense yet lifted, with grainy tannins, black plum, earth, and spice, all wrapped in a savoury, smoky finish that goes on and on.

This bottle is drinking beautifully now and tells the story of a vineyard and a family’s belief in its potential. If you’re curious as to how far it can go: According to the Gulfi family, we’re still finding out. Expect another 5 years of graceful evolution for this landmark vintage.

An ideal match for game meats, porcini risotto, grilled eggplant, or even slow-roasted lamb shoulder. Think hearty, soulful, and Sicilian.
