Winery - Fazio
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Fazio’s Insolia embraces a broader, wider approach with flatter texture and aromas. It doesn’t have those distinguished aromatic accents that you sometimes find in Insolia, but it does offer warm peach, almond and citrus fruit instead.

A Sicilian blend of Catarratto and Chardonnay, Capo Soprano lends the green fruit aromas of the first variety, with the peachy creaminess of the second. It’s an easy-going expression with a compact, short feel in the mouth.

Here’s an innovative Old World take on the Australian model. Sicily’s Fazio Wines – run by brothers Girolamo and Vincenzo - has cooked up snazzy packaging for a Catarratto (an indigenous grape) and Chardonnay blend that definitely delivers the goods. Fresh cut grass, honey, citrus and exotic fruit with moderate acidity and good structure are perfect for everyday drinking. Thanks to its affordable price, buy this wine by the case.

Buttery notes of vanilla, almond nut, banana, mature peach and melon characterize this creamy Grillo from Sicily. The wine is dense and full on the palate and has the natural heft to stand up to pasta or shellfish.

Fazio makes the best of hot climate growing conditions and presents a well-composed Nero d’Avola that is enhanced by aromas of red apple, cassis, pomegranate and black cherry. There’s good intensity here and some sweetness, although the mouthfeel is in no way heavy or thick.

Fazio delivers a meaty, slightly sweet-tasting Syrah that is redolent of Asian spice, beef jerky and hickory smoke. The flavors are smooth and well-integrated and the wine ends on a soft, cushiony note.

Simple but pleasing, with a ruby-red color and matching ruby-red fruit on the nose. There’s also some forest floor, white mushroom and dried grass flavors. Has firm tannins; a general crowd-pleaser at dinner. Imported by Vinarium Inc.

Fazio’s expression of Insolia offers a slightly denser concentration and a more saturated color than you’d expect. The wine is redolent of mature fruit, peach, melon and almond. In the mouth, it is soft and slightly fat.

Here’s a fresh and easygoing Nero d’Avola with light consistency and tonic aromas of berry fruit, cherry and almond paste. You can taste the ripe quality of fruit here and the wine is simple and genuine on the finish.
