* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

Avide presents a simple and fresh Cerauolo di Vittoria with vibrant aromas of berry fruit, forest floor and almond marzipan. The wine is tight and tonic and would pair nicely with Chinese chicken salad or cold pasta with cubed mozzarella, tomato and basil.

Sigillo is a meaty, full-bodied red with ripe tones of blackberry, leather, tobacco and mesquite wood. The wine is dense and rich and would pair beautifully with beef stew and roasted potatoes.

Floral and mineral tones emerge from the nose of this white wine from Sicily. Executed in an easy and fresh style, this crisp—and slightly sweet—wine would pair with tuna salad and fried calamari.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

Wild berries, white cherry and even a touch of green olive or caper come to the forefront of this delicately colored rosé from Sicily. The wine loses momentum in the mouth, however, because of its bitter, slightly astringent feel.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

This is not your standard Cerasuolo di Vittoria by any stretch. The wine exhibits dark concentration and plush aromas of blackberry and sweet almond thanks to 18 months of oak aging. This is a fuller and denser expression of what is usually a light and compact wine.

Sigillo offers good density and concentration that follows refined aromas of berry fruit and white mineral. The wine has elegance, harmony and tastes filling but fresh in the mouth. It is a 50-50 blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Nero d’Avola.

This bright expression of Insolia would make a perfect companion to appetizers or light fish dishes. Aromas include passion fruit and citrus and there’s a thick, creamy, almost soapy sensation on the close.

Here’s a plush and soft expression of Nero d’Avola with lingering tones of spice and mature fruit over background notes of fresh tobacco leaf. A touch of sourness on the close makes this wine appropriate to pair with cheesy pasta dishes.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

A blend of Nero d’Avola and Cabernet Sauvignon, Sigillo shows soft fruit and blackberry aromas backed by a touch of the greenness—bell pepper or crushed clove—usually associated with Cabernet. There’s heft and structure in the mouth.

Here is a pure expression of Syrah from sunny Sicily that represents a very successful match between variety and territory. This is a plush, rich and penetrating red wine with loads of mature fruit, white pepper and smoke.
