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: 89Vintage 2021Wine EnthusiastVanilla and sweet ripe cherries show on the nose of this wine, along with earthy aromas of soil, rocks and smoky pepperiness. Strawberries, cherries and dark chocolate create a rich, juicy palate outlined by firm, sticky tannins balanced with lots of acid.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 88Vintage 2020Vinous MediaDusty rose and black cherry liquor is offset by a peppery flourish of spice as the 2020 Rosso Terre Siciliane unfolds in the glass. It's juicy and fresh with vibrant acidity motivating its tart wild berry fruits. This finishes with admirable length and is pleasantly chewy. Red licorice hints stick around.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 88Vintage 2019Wine AdvocateThe Cantine Colosi 2019 Sicilia Nero d'Avola reveals ripe cherry and blackberry with lots of sunny plushness and softness. This certified vegan wine shows charming simplicity with lots of cherry fruit followed by light spice and cured tobacco or bacon fat. The wine offers moderate length and depth, but it is more than adequate to pair with a spicy eggplant pasta.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 87Vintage 2019Vinous MediaThe 2019 Rosso is a fun and juicy blending of 70% Syrah and 30% Nerello Mascalese that boasts ripe raspberry and black cherry fruit complemented by peppery florals. It’s vibrant from start to finish, with a pretty inner sweetness matched by brisk acids that refresh the palate through to the finish.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review

Score: 88Vintage 2017Wine EnthusiastThis blend of Nerello Cappuccio and Nerello Mascalese from the small island of Salina opens with aromas of red berry, Mediterranean herb and a balsamic whiff of eucalyptus.
