Feudo Principi di Butera 2008 Deliella Nero d'Avola (Sicilia)
- Cellar Selection
- $90
This vintage of Deliella represents an enormous jump forward in quality and intensity. Nero d’Avola vines grow in chalky soils, create extremely elegant aromas of dark fruit, chocolate, cured meat, toasted pistachio and barbecue spice. In the mouth, the wine is rich, velvety and long lasting.

Feudo Principi di Butera 2000 San Rocco Cabernet Sauvignon (Sicilia)
- $60
Cabernet can be hit-or-miss in Sicily, but this one's a hit. The dusty cassis and field-green aromas lead to rich dark-fruit flavors with plenty of tobacco, bitter chocolate and coffee grinds. A full, plush mouthfeel with lots of oak balances the other components. This wine is approachable now but will hold well through 2010

Feudo Principi di Butera 2000 Merlot (Sicilia)
- $20
Starts with fragrant cola and leather aromas before opening to reveal the scent of violets and other dark flowers. Pure plum and berry fruit makes for a harmonious whole, while the finish is pleasant, toasty, round and full.

Feudo Principi di Butera 2001 San Rocco Cabernet Sauvignon (Sicilia)
- $50
Sicily has proved itself a worthy territory for Cabernet Sauvignon and this wine from the island’s southeast corner is tightly packed with aromas of spice, licorice, vanilla, earth, iron, bay leaf, dried herbs and a playful touch of crushed raspberry. It does not boast the same density as other over-extracted Cabernets because it counts on elegance, not muscle.

Feudo Principi di Butera 2001 Calat Merlot (Sicilia)
- $25
If you like extra toasty notes in your Merlot, here is an excellent alternative from southern Italy: the aromas are intense and pronounced and focus mainly on blackberry, plum, roasted nuts, campfire, pencil lead, peanut and oak. Mineral notes come through on the palate and the wine has very good length.
