Wine Advocate 93+. Behold the venerable Don Antonio, one of the first wines to put Nero d'Avola on the world map of native grapes. On the label of the 2016 Sicilia Nero d'Avola Riserva Don Antonio, you'll notice that this wine is now identified as a Riserva, making use of the newly expanded appellation laws of the Sicilia DOC. This is a beautiful medium to full-bodied wine with the type of extraction and thickness that we remember from vintages past and the typical characteristics of the grape. Black fruit and Morello cherry is followed by black olive, grilled fennel, scorched earth and toasted pistachio with bitter chocolate....

Rated 92 by James Suckling Aromas of crushed plums, black tea, fresh flowers and blackberries. Medium-to full-bodied with silky tannins. Notes of coffee and black licorice on the palate mix with the black fruit and berries. Nicely balanced intensity. Drink now. JS.   Winery Deep purple red. Intense nose with plum jam, small red fruits, with an overtone of caper and spicy hints. Fresh, well balanced, structured and persistent. This is a full bodied wine with very soft tannins. Renowned winemaker Dr Riccardo Cottarella has been crafting the Morgant wines for over 20 years.

Wine Advocate 94points. This is one of the bottles that symbolizes the Sicilian Wine Renaissance that started a few decades ago. The Morgante 2019 Sicilia Nero d'Avola Riserva Don Antonio is a real beauty with bold lines and big intensity. The inky and extracted style does evoke a winemaking style that was popular during the first decade of the new millennium, but Don Antonio pulls off that style with pride and confidence. There is plenty of black cherry and baked plum with spice, tobacco and tarry smoke over a full-bodied style. The alcohol content is high at 15%. Production is 20,000 bottles.

DoctorWine....."delicious and compelling". 2 Bicchieri Gambero Rosso. James Suckling 91 points “A pretty pink color and a lovely nose of strawberries and raspberries. Medium-bodied with a super-clean, fruity palate. Hint of almond cream at the end.” Bright and fresh… Rosé di Morgante is obtained from the vinification of Nero d’Avola, the colour is light rosé, but shiny that shows its freshness. Clear aromas, fruity, citrus fruits and floral notes and rose petals stand out. The wine is full flavoured, and at the same time aromatic and balanced. Ideal as an aperitif, enhances raw whitefish, and...
