Cantine del Notaio is a relatively new winery, located amidst the volcanic landscape of Mount Vulture. It was born in 1998 from the vision of Gerardo Giuratrabocchetti and his wife Marcella, who set out to restore the estate that once belonged to Gerardo’s grandfather.
This is a modern wine and one of great beauty. It is red in colour with warm, granite tones. It is not immediately noticeable on the nose, but suddenly exudes aromas of red and black berries that gradually give way to notes of tobacco, oriental spices, liquorice, chocolate, and puffs of minerals, contained within a deep, opulent bouquet. These features are confirmed in the mouth: the flavour is full and expressive, dominated by the rich fruit and noticeable, but thoroughly pleasant, tannins. Il Sigillo is smooth, with an evident density that is balanced by its freshness.
Long-lasting and lingering, the wine offers pleasant sensations of fruit, spices, and refreshing eucaliptus until the very last moment.
Time is a precious ally for Il Sigillo and we recommend that you buy more than one bottle, as it is one of those wines that is worth trying over the years, enjoying it at different stages of maturity.
