Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This was probably the first Sicilian red I tasted, and then it was full of exotic flavors and mysterious scents. Then the wine went downhill for a few years. But now this 3 million-bottle brand is back on form and full of the same herbal, spicy flavors it always had, with the plus of ripe, sweet dark cherry fruit and easy tannins. I drank it recently with a plate of grilled vegetables, and it was a great partnership.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Everyone recognizes the Corvo brand but few of us are familiar with the three indigenous grapes that make up this popular Sicilian blend: Nero d'Avola, Nerello Mascalese and Pignatello. Together they offer cherry, blueberry, pomegranate and plum with a touch of minerality and soft tannins.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This friendly and familiar Sicilian blend of Insolia and Grecanico grapes delivers notes of citrus fruit, honeysuckle, cut grass or sweet peas and mineral tones. The mouthfeel is simple but genuine with enough refreshing acidity to do the trick with grilled fish or summer pastas.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This is a textbook example of Grillo with nice richness and generous aromatic layers of yellow rose, stone fruit, peach blossom and grapefruit. The wine is clean and zippy in the mouth with a refreshing dose of acidity on the close.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Engineered as a Best Buy wine, Corvo Rosso is a blend of Nero d’Avola, Nerello Mascalese and Pignatello that is informal, easy and pleasant. It tastes thin and fruity but would pair with meat ragú or lasagna.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Corvo’s well-known Insolia-Grecanico white blend is rich with peach and floral notes and is totally uncomplicated. It’s clean and refreshing in the mouth, easy to drink but not totally anonymous thanks to its Sicilian core. Imported by A.V. Imports Inc.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This Nero d’Avola is simple, light and smooth, with aromatics of red fruits and leather. Plum and berry flavors are solid, while the finish offers integrated oak and vanilla. A correct, good-feel red for easygoing occasions.
