Producer Profile

Morgante

The Morgante family property includes olive, vineyard and almond groves that sweep along a series of hills about 25 kilometres from the ancient Valley of the Temples of Agrigento - one of the world’s most important archeological sites and a Unesco world heritage site since 1998. The family has been growing Nero d'Avola for five generations, but it was only in 1994 that Antonio Morgante, encouraged by sons Carmelo and Giovanni, decided to vinify their own grapes for the first time. In 1997 they were joined by winemaker Riccardo Cotarella who, in his first Sicilian winemaking role, shares the Morgante passion for producing great red wines from Nero d'Avola.

The region is ideal for viticulture and the vineyards, planted at 450-550 metres above sea level, bask in the Mediterranean sun during the day and are cooled by moderating sea breezes at night. TREMBATH & TAYLOR

Morgante / Puglia / Italy / Nero d'Avola / 2012

Previously an IGT wine, Morgante's Don Antonio is now a Sicilia DOC. The 2012 Sicilia Nero d'Avola Don Antonio offers one of the most beautiful and complete portraits of this promising indigenous grape from southern Italy. This is an elaborate wine with a strong oak imprint that has done much to soften and smooth out any of the grape's rough edges. The bouquet reveals dark fruit, spice, tobacco and wet earth or terra-cotta. The wine's concentration is bold and richly layered. MONICA LARNER, erobertparker.com 2016
