Rosso delle Rose is a 70-30 blend of Syrah and Nero d’Avola that opens with smoky, savory elements of exotic spice, cured meat, ripe fruit and crushed white peppercorn. The wine’s appearance is thick and dense, as is the mouthfeel, but there is also a touch of acidity to keep it fresh.

This is a truly delightful 50-50 Nero d’Avola-Syrah blend with an inky-purplish color and penetrating aromas of menthol, fennel seed, cherry or currant and cough drop. Extracted in color and flavor, it has a defined personality and a zippy, clean finish with soft tannins. Imported by Epic Wines.

Cherry, plum, vanilla and toast make for a well-balanced wine of medium intensity that goes down smooth thanks to its soft tannins and silky consistency. It would pair beautifully with stewed meats or pork dishes. Imported by Epic Wines.

Sicily and Syrah make perfect partners. This wine offers linear, smooth berry tones with touches of barbecue smoke and crushed minerals or talcum powder on the finish.

Made with organically-farmed fruit, Il Giglio is a blend of Inzolia (75%) and Grillo. It opens with a clean, straightforward bouquet of citrus, cut grass, green apple and exotic fruit. The wine is easy and tight in the mouth.

A deeply golden and saturated Chardonnay wine that sees both steel and barrique but seems to have lost its freshness along the way. There is toasted almond, melon and vanilla but the mouthfeel is a bit heavy.

Haermosa is made with organically-farmed fruit. It shows milky notes of peach yogurt and white chocolate. But it also shows zesty crispness on the close despite the thickness and fullness of the wine’s overall texture.
