Terre di Giurfo is worth keeping an eye on. It specialized in Frappato and Nero d’Avola. This oak-aged wine opens with inky dark concentration and ripe blackberry and cherry notes.

Frappato is a terrific native grape from the southern-most parts of Sicily that offers the elegance and brightness of a Pinot Noir and the easy approachability of a Beaujolais. It’s a red wine that would pair with fish dishes or a white asparagus risotto.

Unmistakably a hot-climate wine, the Syrah delivers blueberry and blackberry preserves with musty, earth tones, tight tannins and a pleasant finish. Would pair nicely with grilled sausage peppered with fennel seed. Imported by Ionia Atlantic.

Opens with something a bit funky, reminiscent of Band-Aid, but those notes blow off to reveal cherry fruit, toast and tobacco. The tannins are soft. As a whole, it promises to be very food friendly. Imported by Ionia Atlantic.

The cherry and blackberry-driven nose of this attractively ruby-colored wine is offset by Band-Aid or animal notes that disturb an otherwise pretty picture. On the upside is the wine’s crisp mouthfeel. Imported by Ionia Atlantic.

Frappato is usually made as a dry red wine and Terre di Giurfo is probably the first to release a sweet expression of the grape. This ruby-colored dessert wine offers jammy aromas of strawberry and cassis and could pair with almond or pistachio cookies.
