Gulfi Pachino Nero Baronj

Sicily, Italy

Red Wine

Located in Chiaramonte, Sicily where this land is known for growing Nero D’Avola, the grape, also known as Calabrese has found its natural home here on this island. What makes Gulfi special is regional area of Pachino, the coastal, sandy terroir where Nero d’Avola has adapted very well. Only steps from the Mediterranean Sea, these vineyards thrive in the heat and grow grapes that produce world-class wines. The Catania family will tell you this is a “grand cru” and with several single vineyard sites within Pachino, Nero d’Avola can show great nuances.  Ageable and collectible, these are worth having in any wine cellar. Gulfi is a family-owned winery located in southern Sicily, with grand cru vineyards located in Pachino: 100% Nero d’Avola that grows in sandy soil close to the sea and has adapted to the hot climate. Here, the resulting wines are complex and elegant, and the benchmark for what these wines should taste like. Undoubtedly, one of the world’s greatest wine estates and producers of Nero d’Avola. Although one might think the wines taste the same, each single vineyard or ‘cru’ showcases the great terroir of Pachino and the subtleties of each area. Baronj has mostly limestone soils that brings out the power and minerality of the wine. Likely the most “easy drinking” of the cru wines, it has a nose of raspberry, blood orange and violet with a vibrant palate of dried cherries, plums, and licorice.

Chateau Cos Labory 2016 750ml

Saint-Estèphe, Bordeaux, France

Red Wine

Château Cos Labory 20161855 Classified Growth · Saint-Estèphe, Bordeaux A true piece of Bordeaux history from one of its greatest modern vintages. Château Cos Labory has been an official Fifth Growth since the famous 1855 Classification. It sits in Saint-Estèphe, the same celebrated appellation as Cos d’Estournel, with vines rooted in gravel over a marl-limestone base. The 2016 vintage is often called Bordeaux’s “miracle vintage”. A wet spring gave way to one of the driest summers on record, cooled by fresh nights. A timely September rain and a long, sunny autumn then let the Cabernet ripen slowly. The result is a wine of rare balance: ripe and generous, yet fresh and refined. In the glass, it opens with bright red cherry, cassis and plum, lifted by blood orange, wild flowers, spice and herbs. The palate is medium-bodied and elegant, with fine-grained tannins and a long, persistent finish. Ten years on, it has reached its drinking window and will continue to evolve gracefully through 2040.   Why you’ll love it A genuine 1855 classified growth at a fraction of the price of Saint-Estèphe’s big names From the celebrated 2016 vintage, now ten years old and drinking beautifully Classic Saint-Estèphe: 53% Cabernet Sauvignon, 44% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot, aged 14 months in French oak (50% new) Cellar-worthy: enjoy it now or lay it down until 2040 An impressive gift for the Bordeaux lover in your life, or a case for your own cellar   Serving suggestionsDecant for 1–2 hours and serve at 16–18°C.
