Calatrasi 2003 TDG 651 Red (Sicilia)
- $29
A real crowd pleaser, this 55-45% Nero d’Avola-Shiraz blend is concentrated and redolent of toast, cherry wood and plum. Wood is the driving theme here, yet the wine follows a precise winemaking philosophy.

Calatrasi 2003 D'Istinto Magnifico Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot (Sicilia)
- $31
The blend is 70% Cab Sauvignon and 30% Merlot and the resulting wine is ripe with blackberry, resin, tobacco, cigar box and prune. There’s a round, plush quality derived from oak use and the tannins are tight and smoky.

Calatrasi 2004 Solese Red (Sicilia)
- $17
Dark and beautiful, this Sicilian 70-30% Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz blend lavishes deep cherry fruit and layered earth and leather tones. It’s a ripe and round wine that definitely needs to be consumed with a hearty meal.

Calatrasi 2007 ’A Naca Rosso Red (Sicilia)
- Online Exclusive
- $35
Nero d’Avola (95%) is enhanced by tiny percentages of Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon to produce a thick, impenetrable Sicilian red that is based on ripe fruit, blackberry, prune, syrupy cherry sauce and shaved oak wood. It’s a bold, chewy wine with a thick and soft mouthfeel.

Calatrasi 2005 Accademia del Sole Shiraz (Sicilia)
- Online Exclusive
Thick and brawny, this Sicilian Shiraz boasts a deep purple hue and presents in-your-face aromas of prune, cedar, blueberry and white peppercorn. The consistency is chunky and chewy, like play dough, but drying mineral tones help cap those jammy fruit flavors.

Calatrasi 2003 Terre di Ginestra Nero d’Avola (Sicilia)
- $19
This is a heavily toasted Nero d’Avola that puts blackberry and plum on equal footing with vanilla, roasted nuts and wood notes. It’s a New World-style wine made with an Old World grape. Ends with dusty tannins.
— M.L.

Calatrasi 2008 Terre di Ginestra BlanQ White (Sicilia)
- $18
This Sicilian blend of white grapes (with a large component of Sauvignon Blanc) shows pretty aromas of white flowers and exotic fruit. Mature melon and pear aromas give the wine a warm-climate identity as does its silky structure.
