Avide 2004 Sigillo Red (Sicilia)
Sigillo is a meaty, full-bodied red with ripe tones of blackberry, leather, tobacco and mesquite wood. The wine is dense and rich and would pair beautifully with beef stew and roasted potatoes.

Avide 2003 Sigillo Red (Sicilia)
- $50
Sigillo offers good density and concentration that follows refined aromas of berry fruit and white mineral. The wine has elegance, harmony and tastes filling but fresh in the mouth. It is a 50-50 blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Nero d’Avola.

Avide 2002 Barocco Red (Cerasuolo di Vittoria)
- $50
This is not your standard Cerasuolo di Vittoria by any stretch. The wine exhibits dark concentration and plush aromas of blackberry and sweet almond thanks to 18 months of oak aging. This is a fuller and denser expression of what is usually a light and compact wine.
— M.L.

Avide 2004 3 Carati Nero d’Avola (Sicilia)
- $50
This is a bright expression of Nero d’Avola with youthful fruit flavors and pretty aromas of pistachio nut and almond. The wine is polished and clean with bright acidity on the close.

Avide 2009 Herea Syrah (Sicilia)
Here is a pure expression of Syrah from sunny Sicily that represents a very successful match between variety and territory. This is a plush, rich and penetrating red wine with loads of mature fruit, white pepper and smoke.
— M.L.

Avide 2005 Sigillo Red (Sicilia)
A blend of Nero d’Avola and Cabernet Sauvignon, Sigillo shows soft fruit and blackberry aromas backed by a touch of the greenness—bell pepper or crushed clove—usually associated with Cabernet. There’s heft and structure in the mouth.
— M.L.

Avide 2006 3 Carati Nero d’Avola (Sicilia)
Here’s a plush and soft expression of Nero d’Avola with lingering tones of spice and mature fruit over background notes of fresh tobacco leaf. A touch of sourness on the close makes this wine appropriate to pair with cheesy pasta dishes.
— M.L.
(7/1/2011)
Avide 2005 Barocco Red (Cerasuolo di Vittoria)
Barocco is not your standard Cerasuolo di Vittoria (a wine usually engineered to be consumed young and fresh). Instead, this is an older vintage of Frappato and Nero d’Avola with smokey and sophisticated tones of toasted nut and tobacco over rich concentration.
— M.L.
