Bufaleffj is a cru with unique characteristics where vineyards of Nero d'Avola grow. Covering an area of 2.5 ha, it gives rise to wines which are particularly full, with good body, elegant and complex.
The vines are aged more than 40 years old and rooted in terrain which is characterised by its varied composition, easily observed in the colour: dark wherever the clay is predominant, white when limestone is the main component, and red in sandy seams.
The Nero Bufaleffj bouquet is totally delightful, with fruit-charged notes of blackberry and plum followed by others of juniper, clove, nutmeg, humus and intense balsamic hints. On the palate, its acidity and the smoothness of its tannins stand out, resulting in a most pleasant and enjoyable mouthful.

Ripe, elegant Nero d’avola
Nothing rustic about this, very italianate flavor, almonds, cherries, ripe but not too rich, nice weight and elegance, some tannins left but drinking well now.

Une valeur sûre
Un vin de grande qualité, une valeur sûre de la Sicile. Ce Nero d’Avola a des tanins très fins, un boisé parfaitement intégré, une bouche suave
