Vigna Sultana is a steep sloping, northwest-facing 2ha vineyard of Nero d'Avola on calcareous clay soils in Noto. The grapes are vinified in stainless steel then matured for at least 10 months in first and second passage tonneaux. The nose is warm, recalling damp earth and macerated cherries, with some peppery spice. It's bold and vibrant in the mouth, with fresh and dried dark cherries and berries alongside a balsamic note, lifted floral hints, juicy acidity and fine, woody structure. The finish is persistent and fresh – with a bit of warmth – and there's no sign of jamminess despite its richness and heft.
