Tenuta Gorghi Tondi Coste a Preola - Nero d'Avola 2023

Tenuta Gorghi Tondi was founded by Michele Sala, along with his wife Doretta, in 2000. The Sala family have been grape growers for four generations, tending their vineyards in the Lake Preola and Gorghi Tondi nature reserve, which has been under the protection of the World Wildlife Fund since 1998. The natural oasis, located on the southwest coast of Sicily, contains a treasure of volatile and aquatic species and a suggestively rare flora. Today, the estate is run by Michele’s daughters, Annamaria and Clara, who work to safeguard their surrounding environment as their great-grandmother Dora did over a century ago. The Reserve helps guide the sisters in all winegrowing decisions, including the use of clean energy and banning synthetic chemicals and genetically modified organisms in accordance with the strictest organic farming standards, in order to protect the estate’s biodiversity.

Gorghi Tondi's Nero d'Avola pours a striking ruby red with a purplish tinge. The wine offers an inviting nose bursting with black raspberry and spiced cherry aromas. The medium- to full-bodied palate showcases remarkable balance: vibrant, dark berry fruit intertwines seamlessly with a vibrant acidity and soft, sensuous tannins, leading to a long, complex finish. Enjoy with hard cheeses, truffled mac & cheese or assorted grilled meats.
