Marabino 2005 Don Paolo Red (Sicilia)
This vintage of Don Paolo (a 70-30 blend of Nero d’Avola and Syrah) adds a veneer of opulence and sophistication to its solid core of black fruit, tar and spice. The wine has a firm feel on the palate and wins points for its elegance and persistency.

Marabino 2006 Don Pasquale Eloro Nero d’Avola (Sicilia)
- $24
Exotic, spice-driven intensity sets the tone of this thick Nero d’Avola. The wine offers pulpy cherry fruit and fine texture with beautiful harmony and depth. Its most compelling characteristic, however, is its chewy, plush succulence: pair it with roast pork with stewed figs or plums.

Marabino 2006 Don Paolo Red (Sicilia)
Don Paolo is a blend of Nero d’Avola and Syrah that offers generous, yet decidedly feminine, aromas of cherry, forest berry, exotic spice and dried flowers. The wine has depth and personality and ends with very good freshness and concentration.

Marabino 2005 Archimede Eloro Nero d’Avola (Sicilia)
This mature Nero d’Avola offers rich aromas of jammy fruit and raspberry preserves that are enhanced by delicate mineral renderings, exotic spice and cola. The wine has some burnt notes of campfire or coal but the overall impression is so intense and rich, those charred tones don’t appear out of line.

Marabino 2007 Èureka Chardonnay (Sicilia)
- $28
Balanced and harmonious, Marabino’s pretty Sicilian Chardonnay delivers stone fruit, jasmine, peach blossom and lingering tones of exotic fruit that give the wine length and persistency. The mouthfeel is lean and fresh and would pair with most seafood-based dishes.

Marabino 2007 Carmen Nero d’Avola (Sicilia)
- $18
A sweet, blueberry-like element to the nose denotes a simple and fruity red wine that is high in drinkability and appeal. Executed in a light, easy style with a luminous color and lean texture, this Nero d’Avola would pair well with roasted chicken or pork.
