Morgante is located in the southern part of Sicily near Agrigento. The wines are made under the guidance of consulting oenologist Riccardo Cotarella. The 2004 Nero d'Avola Don Antonio is a selection made from the estate's finest fruit and aged for 12 months in French oak. This beautiful red presents an attractive array of smokiness, tar and dark plums/prunes with outstanding length, well-integrated oak and finessed tannins. Made in a rich, concentrated style, it needs a few years in bottle before it expresses its maximum potential. Brothers Carmelo and Giovanni Morgante named the wine in honor of their father, Antonio Morgante. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2019.
