A breath of Sicilian winds always surfaces in the magical guise of a wine that has traveled through time.
A time dictated by nature and vision, even by a mission, the one gifted to us by nature itself and embraced by Gorghi Tondi in the gentle breeze that carries their story forward.
The Rosso Riserva Sicilia DOC Sorelle Sala encapsulates all this in a bottle as welcoming as their hospitality and identity, with a simple grace similar to a breath of wind from the nearby Mediterranean Sea, accompanying its aromatic breadth.
Dark red like the most enveloping nights, with light reflections resembling stars, it shines brilliantly at the rim of the glass, highlighting the virility of Nero d’Avola and theattractive wild notes of Syrah. A touch of innate elegance from Cabernet Sauvignon completes its harmonic balance.
On the palate, it is full-bodied, revealing a horizon of flavors and roundness, leaving just enough room for an acidity that pleasantly invites another sip. Its pairings abound with meats and cheeses, but this wine will always stand out and will always be memorable and worth remembering. As the Maestro Veronelli once said, “A book can be reread, a record can be replayed, but a glass of wine—and in this case, Gorghi Tondi’s Sorelle Sala Rosso—can only be savored in that precise moment,” wishing that moment is one of delightful camaraderie.
Company Profile
Gorghi Tondi estate would never have come to life without the enduring love for nature of Dora, the great-grandmother of Annamaria and Clara Sala. Representing the fourth female generation in a family that has been dedicated to quality wine production for over a century, Annamaria and Clara carry forward a commitment that blends tradition with respect for the environment. The journey of Gorghi Tondi as a winery began in 2000, when Michele Sala, their father, decided—after more than forty years in the wine industry—to establish his own venture together with his wife Doretta and their two daughters. The deep connection with the land, especially with the nearby High, Middle, and Low whirlpools (the “Gorghi”), also inspired the winery’s name. This oasis, protected by the WWF since 1998, is a natural sanctuary for diverse wildlife and rare flora, a place where nature thrives alongside the vineyards. Here, the family’s approach to viticulture blends seamlessly with the surrounding environment. On a vineyard that overlooks the Mediterranean Sea, they have achieved the remarkable: producing Sicily’s only botrytized wine. Each bottle from Gorghi Tondi reflects the estate’s harmony with nature, its roots in tradition, and the legacy of a family with a profound love for the Sicilian land.
