Caruso & Minini 2006 Delia Nivolelli Riserva Syrah (Sicilia)
- $38
This Riserva Syrah exhibits aged aromas of spice, old leather and dried pipe tobacco. Tertiary aromas (the tones that develop as the wine ages) are already showing, so you’d better drink up now. The finale is marked by loads of succulent black currant and plum.

Cutaja opens with lively red fruit, wild berry, cassis and marzipan. There’s a raw, almost syrupy quality to the fruit that reflects the sun-drenched nature of Sicilian winemaking.

Caruso & Minini 2006 Terre di Giumara Sachia Perricone (Sicilia)
- Online Exclusive
- $19
Sachia is a pure expression of the Perricone grape variety that shares some similarities to modern Cabernet or Syrah. This is a meaty, full-bodied red with lingering tones of black pepper, sage leaf, smoke and toasted nut lavished over a solid core of cherry fruit. The wine offers thick tannins and firm structure suitable for beef dishes.

Here is a very likeable and well-priced blend of Nero d’Avola, Cabernet and Syrah with tones of black olive, Sicilian caper, blackberry, molasses and root beer. The wine’s lively color is bright and vibrant and so is the impression it leaves in the mouth.
