The fifth generation grape-growing family of Morgante- with an assist from renowned consultant Riccardo Cotarella, who makes the wine- produces a Nero d'Avola of unusual balance and grace from their old vines plots (planted at 1,600-1,800 feet altitude) in southern Sicily. The Don Antonio cuvée is their best-of-the-best reserve, and is one of our go-to wines for an old-fashioned roast or winter stew. The dark cherry, spicy, cocoa overtones are well-balanced by plenty of acidity and fine, nicely-integrated tannins.
