Firriato 2005 Camelot Red (Sicilia)
- $50
Camelot, a Sicilian blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, is a hedonistic bomb with plush, almost chewy, aromas of black fruit and spice. The generosity and intensity of its bouquet is outstanding and with time, you’ll encounter intriguing notes of petrol, resin and tar. This wine is rich with personality, charm and staying power.

Firriato 2008 Ribeca Perricone (Sicilia)

Few Sicilian producers export 100% Perricone wines to the U.S. Among those who do, Firriato’s Ribeca is among the best. This is a bold, concentrated and modern wine, with opulent chocolate and dark berry aromas framed by oak spice and vanilla. Keep it in your cellar for a few more years.
