“A graceful red that shows seamless integration to the core of creamed black and red cherry fruit, with fine-grained, sculpted tannins and a minerally underpinning. Fresh and focused, expanding on the palate to reveal details of dried lavender, spicy cedar, wild sage and graphite.” — Wine Spectator, Sep 2023

“The 2019 Nero d'Avola Don Antonio is impossible to ignore, with an intense bouquet of crushed ashen stones, dried roses, black raspberry and rubbed sage. Silky and elegant, it smooths over the palate with a massive wave of dark red and blue-toned fruits and spices, slowly gaining traction as saline minerals saturate. A web of fine tannin adds youthful poise, as the 2019 finishes structured and long, balanced by that textbook Nero d'Avola twang of sour citrus. This is the best Don Antonio I've tasted to date. This is already a pleasure to taste today, yet it has many years of positive development for patient collectors.” — Vinous, Sep 2023
