Description

2002 NeroMaccarj Sicilia IGT

This is where it all began. The 2002 NeroMàccarj is not just a wine, it’s a living piece of Gulfi’s history. Made from Nero d’Avola grown in the sun-drenched Val di Noto, this wine hails from one of Gulfi’s original single vineyards in Pachino, a site once overlooked but now cherished thanks to Vito Catania’s pioneering vision. The Màccarj cru is known for its deep clay soils and proximity to the sea, which gives this bold red both structure and finesse. 2002 was an experimental leap into  the unknown, and today, it stands as a testament to the aging potential of Sicilian Nero d’Avola.
Color
expand_more
Dark garnet in the glass.
Aroma
expand_more
Evolved yet vibrant aromas of black cherry, dried fig, tobacco leaf, and worn leather. There’s a balsamic depth here that feels ancient and soulful.
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.
Taste
expand_more
On the palate, the wine is dense yet lifted, with grainy tannins, black plum, earth, and spice, all wrapped in a savoury, smoky finish that goes on and on.
Cellaring Potential
expand_more
This bottle is drinking beautifully now and tells the story of a vineyard and a family’s belief in its potential. If you’re curious as to how far it can go: According to the Gulfi family, we’re still finding out. Expect another 5 years of graceful evolution for this landmark vintage.
Food Matching
expand_more
An ideal match for game meats, porcini risotto, grilled eggplant, or even slow-roasted lamb shoulder. Think hearty, soulful, and Sicilian.
