Attractive on the nose, with plum, raisin and chocolate. However, it’s ultra sweet and candied, as if some sugar were left in it. As for the finish, it’s syrupy.

Pungent and earthy, with aromatic notes of aged cheese and chocolaty oak. This wine features a sweet streak that is reminiscent of sugared raspberries and/or cherries.

Six months of aging in Slavonian oak has imparted a delicate cedary sheen to the juicy black-cherry flavors. Balancing acidity prevents it from being just another fruit bomb, and it develops some intriguing leather notes with air. Made of 90% Nero d'Avola, with 10% other mixed indigenous varieties, and from a small (five hectare) estate, this is just one example of why Sicily is a hotbed for bargain hunters. Modern technology and careful viticulture combined with hot sunny weather and unique grapes are yielding great wines at great prices.

Cantine Colosi’s interpretation of Passito di Pantelleria is definitely distinct and unique. Rather than mature apricot and honey notes, the golden-colored wine focuses on pungent aromas of roasted nut, root beer and powdery menthol candy. It comes together well, but in a very intense and powerful way that might not appeal to everyone. It has a chewy, viscous almost tannic feel in the mouth.

Opens with a thick amber color and aromas of peppermint, apricot, white mineral and lavender honey. There’s a floral component in the mouth but this wine also offers distinctive flavors of dried grass or herbs.

Made with sweetly fragrant Malvasia grapes from the tiny island of Salina off the northern coast of Sicily, this Passito dessert wine opens with all the intensity you’d expect of sunny southern Italy. The wine sports a luminous amber color and aromas of candied fruit or orange rind, dried mint, touches of root beer and even a hint of white licorice.
