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 2020Vinous MediaThe 2020 Nero d'Avola Rosé mixes sweet roses with ripe strawberries and hints of spice to create a seductive display. It’s soft in texture with medium weight, showing ripe red and hints of blue fruit, as minerals and inner floral tones amass toward the close. This finishes with persistence, still buzzing with energy, as a twang of sour melon punctuates the experience nicely. The 2020 is packed full of character and, if tasted blind, you might believe you were drinking a red rather than a Rosé.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 87Vintage 2020Wine AdvocateHere's a new wine from Cantine Colosi. A certified organic and vegan wine, the 2020 Sicilia Nero d'Avola Rosé Ecolosi (packaged in a screw-capped bottle) shows that bright ruby hue with copper shine that is characteristic of this versatile Sicilian grape. This is an easy and no-fuss rosé to twist open by the pool with some crudité and hummus. Sour cherry, dried raspberry and bitter almond define the bouquet. To the palate, this extreme value wine is thin and crisp with sweet candied berry flavors.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
