Ceuso 2003 Scurati Nero d’Avola (Sicilia)
- $19
With deep, meaty red fruit, leather and a natural, unadulterated sweetness to it, this is one likable Nero d’Avola. The palate is ripe and modern, but the flavors are traditional: spicy plum fruit, nutmeg, earth and oak. Long and dessert-like on the finish, with vanilla and licorice notes. A prototype for the new Sicily.

Ceuso 2000 Custera Red (Sicilia)
- $39
Solid stuff from Sicilia, and in many ways it sets the standard for what Southern Italy can do with native grapes. This wine offers meaty, earthy fruit, cola, oak and leather all wrapped into a presentable whole. And it improves with airing. Imported by Vias Imports.

Ceuso 2000 Fastaia Red (Sicilia)
- $31
Big and brooding, with animal notes and a hint of smoked fish to the nose. Don’t be put off by these terroir-driven aromatics; the wine is firm, solid and well made. Dark berry and smoke flavors lead to a finish that carries firm, full-strength tannins.
