Winery - Duca di Salaparuta
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Vajasindi Làvico is a lively expression of Nerello Mascalese that is redolent of capers, black olives, black fruit and exotic spice. The wine is sharp and intense in the mouth, with a bright personality and some chewy, ripe fruit notes on the close.

Nero d’Avola grapes for this flagship wine are picked from alberello-trained vines to make one of Sicily’s most unique and distinctive wines. Instead of the standard ripe cherry and almond paste, here you get a deep, dark green vein with vegetal, rhubarb, herbal notes, chopped sage and fennel and loads of forest berry. Imported by A.V.

This wine has smooth, creamy flavors with just a touch of toast. A floral, fruity blend of Inzolia and Catarratto grapes.

Lots of tight oak results in aromas of resin, mint and burnt grass. Runs a bit light and tart, given all that oak. The flavors are of raspberry and cranberry with an artificial vanilla sweetness and full tannins. Imported by A.V. Imports Inc.

This is a very pleasant and elegant blend of Nero d’Avola, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot that does a great job of presenting a united aromatic front. There are no loose edges here and the wine is compact and smooth in the mouth. Very nice.

This 100% Inzolia has toasty aromas along with citrus and green fruit flavors. Spends six months in new wood, which gives flavor but does not dominate the fruit.

Làvico, made from Nerello Mascalese grapes harvested on the slopes of Mount Etna (with 10% Merlot), exhibits aromas of burnt coal, bramble, lead pencil, blueberry and wild strawberries. The wine moves with delicate, feminine steps but is not without power and intensity.

Smoky and herbal, with attractive red licorice and tomato aromas. Raspberry and strawberry drive the light palate. Good acids make for a lean and tasty finish. Drink soon.

Mild toast aromas add a modern touch to this plump, viscous white that’s built around a core of pear and lemon flavors. Seems as if it would be a good companion to oily Mediterranean fish dishes.
