I am in love with this one. Black fruits, nice freshness and elengant finish. This is one of my favourite producers and labels. Was the wine of one of the first dates with my wife and has been at our table during many nice moments. This bottle stood up to our expectation and is pure pleasure to sip

Körperreich mit strammiger Würze. Kein Fruchtpunch. Unbedingt ein paar Stunden vorher dekantieren, anfangs ist er ansonsten zu verschlossen und zeigt sich von der zickigen Seite. Wurde aber zum Ende hin immer harmonischer.

Whatever is really in the bottle, I don't trust the producers' claims. Much too good for Nero. A bouquet that is more reminiscent of a supertuscan than a Sicilian. Mille e una Notte 2012 has an enveloping bouquet of fruits like mulberry and blackberry and it has balsamic and spicy flashes. It is soft and intense with a long finish.

This is without doubt the nicest wine I have tasted in a long time. Full bodied and full of fruit. Will it improve with age? I don’t know. Delicious, an absolute cracker of a wine.

Tight, dark purple color. Aromas of blueberries, plums and some spices. Full bodied, chewy, forward and intense, with loads of dry matters. Good acidity.

Retail $80. “Nero d’Avola, Petit Verdot, Syrah and other grapes.” Another iconic wine from the esteemed Sicilian producer. Fairly dark mulberry in the glass with aromas of violet, blackberry, and anise. Once past the lips, there is more than ample acidity, subtle, but at the same time, prodigious fruit with coffee grounds, baked blackberry pie, and delicate but stringent, pithy tannins. Some patience (3-5 years) here will be greatly rewarded.
Nose is blowing away with dark red fruits of enormous depth, that really prepares you what to expect when you take a sip. Same richness and depth od flavors with accessible tannins and above all elegance and grace, this is what separates excellent from good wines, and ‘Mille e Una Notte’ is no doubt and outstanding wine.

Tre Bicchieri Tasting (Fort Mason, San Francisco): Aromatic, rich black fruit, spice, some earth, the nose is striking; palate is medium-plus bodied, dark fruit, smooth low tannins, just lovely. 92+

Nose with sweet and powerful fruit, caramel and fried sausages. On the palate there are dark, juicy cherries, sweet spices and some meat. Nice and tight structure, tannins that dry the oral cavity a bit. Good now, but will be better with time. A wine that appears to be rich and lush in taste and appearance.

Highlight of our blind tasting lunch amongst 6 different old words labels. Very noble Nero d’avola with rich nose of dark fruit, ripe tanninis, long finish and overall balance.
