This is great - an interesting, well built wine. Earth, orange peel, crushed dark fruit, rose petal on the nose. Substantial on the palate, sweet-ish. Feels alcoholic but only 14%. — 5 months ago

Tasted the 2014 side by side with Foti's 2012 Carjcanti from Gulfi (with the aspiring younger Foti, Simone) granted this one was 2 years younger, you can tell Carricante craves the elevation and volcanic soil from Etna — 9 years ago

When was the last time you had this? A few years for me and I like to revisit in another 10. Still young, reductive. 2005 — 12 years ago

Formaggio Kitchen 2017 Fall tasting. Bought 3 bottles for 23.99. I think it’s cheaper at Eataly. Finally drank last one in 2019. This was one of my first Nero D’Avola’s. I think this one led to Gulfi.

'10. Maldafrica was inspired by an early '80s visit by COS cofounder to Haut-Brion. A truly different 50-50 Cab-Merlot with the house style that crosses elegance with a good kind of rusticity. Giusto Occhipinti (above) was also a phenomenal host and the best kind of Bon Vivant. Seek him out, as the COS story is as inspirational as this very, very yummy and distinctive wine. Like Gulfi, making Sicily among the hotbeds of cool new wines in Europe. COS winemaker's tasting @noragrey. Kudos to Theo and Oenopole! — 11 years ago

Fresh rather hard and stern acidity and tannins. Dark berries, pepper, herbs, green bell pepper, hints af raw meat. Rather lush and sternly fruty. For me reminds me of a good stern Sicilian wine from Gulfi (Neroblejo). Really nice stays good at least 3 days open. — a year ago

Nero d'Avola from Sicily. Fascinating aromatics of lavender, pine resin and black olive. Quite fresh and youthful. More time required but nicely composed with nice length and furry tannins. — 9 years ago
