Impronta (a blend of Insolia and Chardonnay from Sicily) offers floral fragrances that recall cut basil, acacia flower and honeysuckle. The wine is easy, crisp and light on the palate, making for a perfect summertime sipper.

Orange peel and zesty tangerine follow aromas of honey and butterscotch. Moscato della Torre is a smooth and generous wine with intense flavors and medium acidity. Drink it alone or with aged cheese.

This vintage of Don Paolo (a 70-30 blend of Nero d’Avola and Syrah) adds a veneer of opulence and sophistication to its solid core of black fruit, tar and spice. The wine has a firm feel on the palate and wins points for its elegance and persistency.

This crisp Insolia has a candy, butterscotch-like note that comes on the heels of light fruit and floral fragrances. It’s a delicate ensemble with a lean mouthfeel that lacks pulp but delivers nice freshness instead.

Exotic, spice-driven intensity sets the tone of this thick Nero d’Avola. The wine offers pulpy cherry fruit and fine texture with beautiful harmony and depth. Its most compelling characteristic, however, is its chewy, plush succulence: pair it with roast pork with stewed figs or plums.

Compelling and sweet-smelling, Archimede offers pretty tones of spice, black cherry, molasses, espresso and cola. The ruby-colored wine is zippy and fresh with soft tannins and medium length in the mouth.

This mature Nero d’Avola offers rich aromas of jammy fruit and raspberry preserves that are enhanced by delicate mineral renderings, exotic spice and cola. The wine has some burnt notes of campfire or coal but the overall impression is so intense and rich, those charred tones don’t appear out of line.

Rosa Nera delivers delicate floral and sweet-smelling aromas of fruit and rose petal. The wine is fresh, buoyant and beautifully void of the mature, heavy aromas sometimes associated with warm-climate rosé.

A sweet, blueberry-like element to the nose denotes a simple and fruity red wine that is high in drinkability and appeal. Executed in a light, easy style with a luminous color and lean texture, this Nero d’Avola would pair well with roasted chicken or pork.

Don Paolo is a blend of Nero d’Avola and Syrah that offers generous, yet decidedly feminine, aromas of cherry, forest berry, exotic spice and dried flowers. The wine has depth and personality and ends with very good freshness and concentration.
