Sicily At a Glance
Region NameSicily
Sicily is Italy’s southernmost region and the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. For more than 2500 years, Sicily (Sicilia in Italian) has been a significant center of Mediterranean viniculture, although the reputation and style of its wines have changed significantly over that time.
Score: 90Vintage 2017Wine AdvocateThe Cantine Colosi 2017 Malvasia delle Lipari Passito di Salina Na'jm (in a 500-milliliter bottle) is made according to the traditional approach in which the grapes are either air-dried on bamboo mats or they are left to dry on the vines before harvest. This process makes for extra intensity and flavor that is played forward with sweet apricot, honey and caramel. This vintage is not especially complex, but it finds a good comfort zone with ample sweetness and generous fruit.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
