Description

2019 NeroBufaleffj Sicilia IGT

by Gulfi is a powerful and expressive wine made from 100% Nero d’Avola grown in the historic Bufaleffj vineyard in Val di Noto, Sicily—rooted in black clay, red sand, and limestone soils. This wine opens with a bold bouquet of crushed blackcurrant, blueberry, and dried flowers, layered with spicy notes of lavender, licorice root, and a hint of mineral ash. On the palate, it flows with silken intensity—rides of ripe plum, black cherry and blood orange blend with smoky herbs and saline minerality, framed by firm yet refined tannins and lifted by bright, energetic acidity that carries through to a persistent, spice-tinged finish. The wine is aged for about 24 months in small-format barrels (500 L and 225 L), followed by two years of bottle aging, allowing the tannic structure to soften and the aromatics to develop complexity. A terrific match for grilled or roasted meats, pork-based dishes, intense mushroom preparations, and mature cheeses—the structure and acidity allow it to pair seamlessly with hearty flavors and rich textures. Gulfi, founded in 1996 by Vito Catania in partnership with oenologist Salvo Foti, has championed Nero d’Avola through organic viticulture and meticulous terroir-driven winemaking. NeroBufaleffj is their flagship cru—celebrated for its elegance, density, and capacity to age for over a decade, embodying the pinnacle of Sicilian red wine potential

The Story

expand_more

Respecting what nature offers them, they cultivate according to tradition with sapling vines. They do not irrigate, following the rhythms of nature, letting the vines find their own balance. They have always kept the sacredness of the harvest unchanged. Grapes are collected by hand with the rituality of a gesture handed down by history. Their wines contain the essence of the land, the sounds of nature, the intensity of the colours of Sicily. Each Gulfi wine hides a precise personality, capable of awakening all our senses.
