Alessandro di Camporeale 2005 Kaid Syrah (Sicilia)
- $32
Sweet blueberry and notes of violet and dried lavender describe this delicate Syrah-based wine. The aromatic nuances are soft and layered, making for a very feminine expression (despite its origins) that ends with bright fruit flavors and enduring crispness.

Alessandro di Camporeale 2006 Donnatá Nero d’Avola (Sicilia)
- $19
Here’s a Nero d’Avola-based wine from Sicily with a green, or slight herbaceous quality to the fruit (presumably a result of the high elevation of the vineyard) that enhances the characteristic aromas of red currant, blackberry and exotic spice. The wine offers very good balance of refreshing acidity versus chewy fruit.

Alessandro di Camporeale 2003 Kaid Syrah (Sicilia)
- Best Buy

The nose is slightly muddled or blurred, but you can get through to exotic spice, coffee and blackberry. A simple, linear wine that performs well in the mouth thanks to a solid structure; there’s a slightly sour note on the close. Imported by Panebianco.
