This soft and velvety blend of Nero d’Avola, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon boasts loads of blackberry, cherry and prune backed by spicy elements of toasted nut and leather. The mouthfeel is powerful but not too dense or concentrated.

Adènzia is a Chardonnay-based wine with 13% Grillo grown in white, chalky Sicilian soils that offers a drying mineral note behind fresh aromas of spring flowers and exotic fruit. The wine is crisp and pristine but also has the natural heft to pair with delicious fish dishes.

A candied element of butterscotch, caramel and dried apricot opens the nose of this luminous and bright Chardonnay. The wine is smooth and soft in the mouth with enduring flavors of stone fruit and mineral (in fact, vineyard soils are heavy in chalk content). Baglio del Cristo is Sicily’s hottest new winery to watch.
