Gulfi Rossojbleo Sicilia 2022

Gulfi's Nero d'Avola Rossojbleo is a chunky, rustic red from Sicily. Slightly reticent at first, the wine needs a few minutes in the glass for the slightly reduced aromatics to blow off. When they do, a gorgeous wine loaded with fruit flows onto the palate with masses of dark cherries intermingled with mint, flowers, spices and licorice. There is lovely depth here, not too terrific overall balance, and long, lingering finish. This is a very serious and pleasing wine for the money.
