More questions
Neromaccarj by Gulfi is a red wine that intensely tells the story of the Terre Siciliane IGT territory, a symbol of a rich and genuine wine heritage. Born from the Nero d’Avola grape variety, known for its ability to fully express the Mediterranean character, this wine offers a complex and enveloping aromatic profile.
In the glass, it shows a deep ruby color, while on the nose, aromas of ripe red fruits, delicate spices, and light hints of aromatic herbs typical of the Mediterranean scrub unfold. The aging takes place in oak barrels, giving Neromaccarj structure and silky tannins, supported by a freshness that extends its persistence.
Ideal paired with structured Sicilian cuisine dishes such as roasted meats or aged cheeses, this wine is a sensory experience that celebrates the biodiversity and wine-making tradition of Sicily.

The story
The estate is linked to the Catania family and to the project launched by Vito Catania in the 1990s, developing a path focused on enhancing the individual contrade of southeastern Sicily. Since the late 1990s the company has built its reputation chiefly around Nero d'Avola and the production of Cerasuolo di Vittoria Classico DOCG, later carrying out trials on vineyards of Etna and the Val di Noto.
Production philosophy
Pursuit of "naturalness": bio-organic/organic viticulture practices, bush-trained vines where possible, the absence of systematic irrigation, and low-intervention winemaking to preserve the expression of the terroir and indigenous grape varieties.
Terroir and vineyards
The estate operates in three main areas of south-eastern and eastern Sicily: the Monti Iblei, with hillside vineyards on marls and calcarenites; the Pachino/Val di Noto area on the southernmost flank; and several vineyards on Etna. Each area has distinct soils and microclimates, producing wines with different profiles.
Awards and recognition
Gulfi's wines have received scores and accolades from international critics and guides and regularly appear in industry rankings and reviews.
