Ceuso 2003 Scurati Nero d'Avola (Sicilia)
- $19
With deep, meaty red fruit, leather and a natural, unadulterated sweetness to it, this is one likable Nero d’Avola. The palate is ripe and modern, but the flavors are traditional: spicy plum fruit, nutmeg, earth and oak. Long and dessert-like on the finish, with vanilla and licorice notes. A prototype for the new Sicily.

Ceuso 2001 Ceuso Red (Sicilia)
- $41
Here’s a toasty and earthy wine that is given more dimension thanks to lush notes of vanilla, blackberry, leather and pipe tobacco. The finish rides long over spicy notes and the tannins are tight and dusty. Imported by Vias Imports.

Ceuso 2000 Custera Red (Sicilia)
- $39
Solid stuff from Sicilia, and in many ways it sets the standard for what Southern Italy can do with native grapes. This wine offers meaty, earthy fruit, cola, oak and leather all wrapped into a presentable whole. And it improves with airing. Imported by Vias Imports.

Ceuso 2009 Fastaia Red (Sicilia)
- $30
Fastaia is a “super Sicilian” blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot that offers ripe aromas of maraschino, blackberry preserves and prune, followed by spice, tobacco and rum cake accents. The mouthfeel is soft, chewy and long.

Ceuso 2000 Fastaia Red (Sicilia)
- $31
Big and brooding, with animal notes and a hint of smoked fish to the nose. Don’t be put off by these terroir-driven aromatics; the wine is firm, solid and well made. Dark berry and smoke flavors lead to a finish that carries firm, full-strength tannins.
