Home Wine Italy Ceresuolo di Vittoria, Gulfi, Sicily
Etna Bianco, Benanti, Sicily £25.95
Back to products
Etna Rosso 'Passorosso', Passopisciaro, Sicily £39.95

Ceresuolo di Vittoria, Gulfi, Sicily

£22.95

A 50/50 blend of Nero d’Avola and Frappato di Vittoria, which were replanted by Gulfi and trained according to the traditional Alberello system. The Nero d’Avola is harvested at the end of September and Frappato in the first week of October. The two varieties are fermented separately, with a short maceration on the skins. After fermentation, the wines are blended and bottled after two months.

Ceresulo refers to the vibrant colour and perfume of the wines, with cherries bursting from the glass.

Frappato is light, perfumed and light on tannins while Nero d’Avola is richer and more full-bodied. Together they make a really interesting style of wine and Gulfi’s is one of the best examples.

A delicious wine that suits outdoor eating; grilled meats from the bbq are perfect, as are cold meats and cheeses.

Description

From Sicily’s extreme south-eastern tip, stretching up to the wild volcanic slopes of Etna, Gulfi’s vineyards can be found in some of islands most interesting and expressive viticultural areas. Raffaele Catania started making Gulfi wines in the 70’s, at this stage just Nerojbleo grown on the Ibleo mountains. In 1995 Raffaele’s son Vito took over, with a vision to expand their offerings and make the best Nero d’Avola wines available. Three generations of knowledge, experience and winemaking traditions have now been passed down through the Catania family. Their philosophy, to nurture and develop native Sicilian grapes varieties, working organically with very old vines and a minimal intervention approach to winemaking. Today Gulfi is run by Vito’s two sons Matteo and Raffaele who have only further strengthened the reputation of this exemplary estate.

Gulfi’s vineyards start in Pachino in the south-east of Sicily, where they produce single vineyard (contrada) Nero d’Avola wines from the historical plots of Maccari, Bufaleffi, Baroni and San Lorenzo. Part of Gulfi’s legacy is that they were the first winery ever to release single-contrada Nero d’Avola’s from Sicily, at a time when no one believed in its potential. They also have land in Monti Iblei, in the region of Ragusa, the traditional area of Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG. And on the northern slopes of Mount Etna, where their Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio vines are 100 + years old and sit at a considerable altitude of 850 meters above sea level. Their vines are trained according to the Alberello technique (depicted in their logo), a very traditional technique that the Catania family have long been advocates for. It means small tree (much like bush vines), the vine supports itself, its self-shading, slow ripening and requires no additional irrigation. Not only is it perfect in coping with the extreme conditions here, but it too is part of what keeps their history and traditions alive.

 

Committed to sustainability and a minimal intervention approach, Gulfi are certified organic, taking utmost care in the vineyard to protect its natural balance. “Land is our richness, we don’t have to misuse it but rather listen to it and conserve it.” Vito Catania. Their winemaking philosophy is simple, working with minimal intervention to make terroir expressive wines which allow the true nature of these native varieties to shine. Together with consultant winemaker Salvo Foti, this iconic estate consistently release some of Sicily’s (if not Italy’s) top wines. Capable of very long ageing, these wines are really expressive, with strong typicity, and refinement.

Monteleccio, Sesti

Italy, Red Wine
£19.95
The Sesti family are one of the best producers of Brunello di Montalcino. Based at the beautiful Castello di Argiano, they have the most beautiful property imaginable and they make wines in a thoughtful and balanced style; traditional in the best sense of the word. The grapes for this wine are selected because they are felt to be best for drinking young; so they could become Brunello but they are aged for less time. More character than many actual Brunello and for half the price, this is one of Montalcino’s best buys. Great with hard cheeses (Cornish Kern or Old Winchester?), as well as roast lamb with lots of garlic and rosemary, pasta with meat sauces and stews.

Etna Bianco, Benanti, Sicily

Italy
£25.95
The Etna Bianco is produced with Carricante grapes that grow in 35-50 year old vineyards on the southern and eastern slopes of Mount Etna at about 700 - 950 metres above sea level. Due to the substantial difference in diurnal temperatures, the grapes are late ripening and are harvested by hand in the last fortnight of October. After being gently pressed, the fruit is slowly fermented in stainless steels vats at 18-20°C using patented selected indigenous yeasts for 15 days. And is then left to mature in the same vats before 2 months of bottle refinement.Pale yellow in colour, this wine displays delicious ripe red and green apple aromas with a hint of ripe pear. On the palate the intense fruit is complimented by a slightly rich mouthful and balanced by a refreshing acidity and a bright aromatic persistance on the finish.Use this like you would a Chablis and you won't go far wrong; minerally, crunchy and dry, it marries perfectly with salmon dishes.

Primitivo, Cantele

Italy, Red Wine
£13.95
Cantele make some of the best value wines in all of Italy. Puglia (the heel of Italy), is a hot and dry region and makes for rich and powerful wines like this. The skill of the Cantele family is evident in the balance they achieve, food-friendly but smooth enough to glug on it’s own!

Etna Rosso ‘Passorosso’, Passopisciaro, Sicily

Italy
£39.95
Passopisciaro is one of the leading producers in Sicily; their wines really have something special about them.The grape here is Nerello Mascalese and on Etna's volcanic soils it makes wines of beguiling perfume and style. This is not a heavy, full-bodied wine but like Barolo and Barbaresco, there is a structure that gives them stature and a sense of import.This wine can stand up to rich stews and game dishes but really shines with a couple of simple hard cheeses; try it with Corra Lin or Lincolnshire Poacher

Frappato, Mandrarossa, Sicily

Wine, Italy
£13.95

The Mandrarossa wines come from a selection of the best sites from Cantine Settesoli’s 6,000 hectares of vineyard, situated in southwestern Sicily and planted with 32 different grape varieties. The vineyards are split between the 2,000 members of the co-op, and cover the area around Selinunte, the hauntingly beautiful ruins of a Greek town founded 2,600 years ago. Cantine Settesoli helps to support the restoration of this archaeological site.

First produced in 1999, Mandrarossa has opened its own winery in 2021, a completely sustainable winery fed by solar panels and well integrated with the surrounding hills. The winery has increasingly focused on single-site wines, as it was conceived after the diverse soils of the vineyards were mapped, enabling the winemakers to focus on what were then ranked their best sites. Under the leadership of co-operative president Giuseppe Bursi, consultant winemaker Alberto Antonini has sought to improve viticulture, which has resulted in better wines.

This Frappato (grape variety), is perfumed, light and fresh. Lots of juicy red fruit flavours and great balance make this a versatile food wine. Perfect with pizza and light meat dishes, it can also be chilled and drunk with fish dishes.

Frizzante Rosato Unfiltered, Int3gral3, Veneto

Italy
£15.95
This is a group of young like-minded growers and winemakers who've decided to do something fun, of the moment and very different. For these two cloudy wines, they draw on old parcels of indigenous grapes in the Euganean Hills, best described as the toe of the Dolomites dipped in the Venice Lagoon. This is important as most vines in this area are planted on flat, fertile land which gives crude simplistic flavours, whilst these vines toil away in the tougher hills.This business model is part of a new wave of a young generation whose conservative parents wont take this kind of risk with the family name, so they band together to use what they can lay their hands on.The grapes used are Raboso, Marzemino, Corbinella, Turchetta.A wonderful wine that drinks as beautifully as it looks, full of fresh summer fruit flavours.Organic
