Gulfi’s Matteo Catania has come back swinging after the difficult 2018 vintage. The 2019s are gorgeous, deep, rich, dark-fruited and classically structured. What’s more, they are transparent to terroir, which makes it hard for me even to recommend one over the other. Catania described 2019 as a balanced year without drastic climatic or notable heat events. This year, I also tasted a selection of 2002 cru wines, the Nerobaronj and Nerosanlorenzj and the 2003 NeroSanloré, which all showed beautifully. Catania has been a strong proponent of Nero d'Avola’s ability to age. A bottle of wine rarely makes it from my tasting table to the dinner table, but with the 2002 Nerosanlorenzj, I simply couldn’t resist. These are some of the best wines being made, not just in Sicily but all of Italy.
