More questions
Rosso Terre Siciliane IGT Nerojbleo by Gulfi is a wine that intensely tells the authentic character of the Sicilian territory. Produced mainly from the Nero d'Avola grape, typical of the island, this red expresses enveloping aromas of ripe red fruits, sweet spices, and mineral hints that recall the volcanic soil of the area. The vinification takes place using traditional methods, followed by aging in oak barrels, which provides structure and a pleasant softness on the palate.
On the palate, Nerojbleo is full-bodied yet balanced, with silky tannins and a persistent finish where notes of dark chocolate and licorice are found. It is perfect paired with red meats, roasts, and aged cheeses, enhancing rustic cooking and the richness of Mediterranean flavors. A sensory experience that brings the essence of Sicily to the glass.

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.
