Feudo Disisa 2006 Krysos Grillo (Sicilia)
- $30
Sicily makes some of the absolutely best dessert wines you will ever taste, and Feudo Disisa’s late-harvest Krysos is an excellent example. The wine opens with intense aromas of apricot, chestnut honey, almond marzipan and dried apricot. It feels soft, thick and enduring on the long, sweet finish.

Duca di Salaparuta 2008 Kados Grillo (Sicilia)
- Editors' Choice
- $15
Kudos to Kados: Here’s a lovely and surprisingly sophisticated white wine from Sicily (made with the native Grillo grape but fermented in oak for extra spice and zest) offered at an equally surprising low price. Great with fish or spaghetti con vongole, the wine shows light pulses of yellow flower, peach, white mineral and almond.

Fruit for this pristine white wines comes from old, head-trained vines on the tiny island of Mozia off the southern coast of Sicily. Packed tight with archeological remains, the island is managed by the Whitaker Foundation and this wine is part of a larger project to revive ancient viticulture and winemaking traditions. It’s an excellent story and a wonderful wine.

Marco de Bartoli 2003 Grappoli Del Grillo (Sicilia)
- $34
Clean and medium in weight, with apple, pineapple and a shot of mineral to the nose. Pure citrus and sunshine in the mouth, with a finish of orange peel and pepper. Acidic and snappy, but crafty. Simple yet solid. Imported by Vias Imports.
