Gulfi Pachino Nero Bufaleffj

Sicily, Italy

Red Wine

Located in Chiaramonte, Sicily where this land is known for growing Nero D’Avola, the grape, also known as Calabrese has found its natural home here on this island. What makes Gulfi special is regional area of Pachino, the coastal, sandy terroir where Nero d’Avola has adapted very well. Only steps from the Mediterranean Sea, these vineyards thrive in the heat and grow grapes that produce world-class wines. The Catania family will tell you this is a “grand cru” and with several single vineyard sites within Pachino, Nero d’Avola can show great nuances.  Ageable and collectible, these are worth having in any wine cellar.

Gulfi is a family-owned winery located in southern Sicily, with grand cru vineyards located in Pachino: 100% Nero d’Avola that grows in sandy soil close to the sea and has adapted to the hot climate. Here, the resulting wines are complex and elegant, and the benchmark for what these wines should taste like. Undoubtedly, one of the world’s greatest wine estates and producers of Nero d’Avola. Although one might think the wines taste the same, each single vineyard or ‘cru’ showcases the great terroir of Pachino and the subtleties of each area. 

Buffaleffj is a 3ha site with a unique soil mix of black clay, white limestone, and red sand. The wine has concentrated black cherry and blackberry notes, roasted eggplant, and spice. Even though the climate here is very hot, the wine maintains its acidity, yet with a velvety palate of blackberries and sour cherries, with mineral and herbal complexity that leads to a long and sumptuous finish.

Heads & Tails Venezuelan Rum 2006

Canada

Rum

TWA x Heads and Tails is a collaboration between two independent spirits producers, The Whisky Agency (TWA) and Heads and Tails, both based in different parts of the world. TWA is a German independent bottler known for its exceptional whiskies, while Heads and Tails is a craft distillery based in Venezuela.

The collaboration resulted in the creation of a limited edition rum called Canada - Venezuelan, which is a blend of Canadian and Venezuelan rums. The Canadian component of the blend was distilled in 2011 and aged in ex-bourbon casks for 7 years, while the Venezuelan component was distilled in 2008 and aged in ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks for 12 years.

The Canada - Venezuelan rum was then finished in a Pedro Ximenez sherry cask for a few months, which added a rich and complex sweetness to the final product. The rum was bottled at cask strength (56.1% ABV) and only 230 bottles were produced.

The Canada - Venezuelan rum is highly sought after by rum enthusiasts and has received high praise from critics. It is known for its complex and layered flavor profile, featuring notes of dried fruit, dark chocolate, coffee, and spices, with a long and satisfying finish.

Overall, TWA x Heads and Tails Canada - Venezuelan rum is an excellent example of the art of blending and a testament to the skill and expertise of the two producers involved in its creation.
