Producers
Vigneti Vecchio
Italy | Sicily | Terre Siciliane Rosso
Delicate floral perfume, medium body, and velvety tannin.
Vigneti Vecchio
Italy | Sicily | Etna
This red’s satiny texture allows it to gloss over the palate with utter delicacy, while suggestions of smoke, white pepper, and brandied cherries linger after each sip.
Portelli
Italy | Sicily | Vittoria Frappato
The wine builds to a crescendo and leaves the palate stained and saturated with staying power. This is much more than quaffing Frappato. Irresistible.
Masseria del Pino
Italy | Sicily | Etna Rosso
This rosso shows a softer side of Etna, with all the volcano’s wild aromatics but none of the edgy tannins or high alcohol.
Grottafumata
Italy | Sicily | IGT Terre Siciliane
Grottafumata means “smoky caves” and that's exactly what I think about when I swish this around. Grown in volcanic soils, it's a perfect balance between smoky tannins and Sicilian grapes.
Grottafumata
Italy | Sicily | IGT Terre Siciliane
Grottafumata’s first release from the “Vigna degli Architetti” delivers deep, ripe fruit with elegance and grace.
Vigneti Vecchio
Italy | Sicily | Terre Siciliane Rosso
Delicate floral perfume, medium body, velvety tannin.
Vigneti Vecchio
Italy | Sicily
A radiant and rocky red from a brave little vineyard that stands tall and defiant in the shadow of Mt. Etna’s brooding billow.
Riofavara
Italy | Sicily | Eloro
The Padova family’s Spaccaforno is generous but not heavy, with suggestions of blackberry, licorice, and spice leading to a lively, chalky finish.
Masseria del Pino
Italy | Sicily | Etna Rosso
It’s immediately likable as it draws you in for another glass: fun, folksy label, vibrant berry and spice aromas, meticulously crafted using ancient methods.
Portelli
Italy | Sicily
Enough vibrance and freshness to drink well on its own, but just enough tannin and acid to be versatile at table.
Riofavara
Italy | Sicily | Eloro
“Sciavè is the result of ancient clones of Nero d’Avola which, besides exalting the limestone matrix of its terroir of origin in the Eloro appellation, carry forth the elegance gleaned from patiently aging the wine in barrel.”
