Elegant Sicilian Rarity
Tenuta Fenice Bianco 2018
Type: White Blend
Over 50 years after an earthquake devastated his family estate in Sicily, Dino Taschetta has returned to make this lovely white. A rare blend of native Grillo and Catarratto and lush Chardonnay, it bursts with perfumed floral and orchard-fruit notes.

Historic Sicilian Vermentino
Terra di Nonno Vermentino 2018
Type: Vermentino
In 1958, Andrea Palermo’s grandfather started a community winery in their small Sicilian village. Today, the family’s wines – like this dazzling Vermentino – are known around the world. Enjoy its fresh floral and orchard-fruit notes with seafood.

Super-Rich Sicilian Rarity
Tenuta Fenice Nero d’Avola 2018
Type: Nero d'Avola
Our intrepid expert stumbled on this acclaimed, old-vine Nero d’Avola when he entered the gates of Sicily’s lost “village of the vines” (and you will not believe how decadent it is for the price). Expect plush dark cherry and sweet spice notes.

Blockbuster Sicilian Cabernet
Fortazzo Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
Type: Cabernet Sauvignon
Thanks to the incredible 2018 vintage, now is a fantastic time to discover Sicily’s rich, ripe reds. Simone Cortese’s generously barrel-aged Cabernet Sauvignon has an incredible depth of plummy-blackberry flavor with steak-ready, chocolatey tannins.

Vibrant Sicilian White Rarity
Saserello Bianco 2017
Type: White Blend
Mario Ercolino’s Saserello red is one of our all-time favorite Sicilian reds, which inspired him to create the ultimate white version. The inaugural release won major points, and we think this zippy, lemony 2017 is every bit as impressive.
