Very pale bright straw yellow. The nose is two-faceted, starting with perfumed white flowers. With aeration the wine veers towards ripe yellow apple and lime. Enters juicy and suave, with luscious but lifted pomaceous orchard and white stone fruit flavors nicely focused by noteworthy salinity. Finishes long and tactile but with plenty of freshness. Another very successful vintage for this blend of Grillo and Inzolia.

The 2013 Sicilia Adènzia represents a blend of Nero d'Avola and Syrah - two grapes that share many points in common. They both offer generous fruit tones, especially when cultivated in warm climates like Sicily. They also both offer superior softness and textural richness. This wine is a classic example of the happy marriage between Sicily's greatest red grape and its distant French relative. Dark fruit, cherry, spice and vanilla come together in seamless fashion.

Banana, ripe blackcurrants, ivy and blackberries. Full body, round tannins, juicy fruit and a fruit-forward finish. Tightly knit tannin structure overlaid by bright fruit. Drink now.

Dunkles, undurchdringliches Rubinrot mit minimal aufhellendem Rand. Würzige Nase nach Zwetschkenkompott, getragen von edler Holzwürze, Schokolade, Lakritze, dann wieder Brombeere, vielschichtig. Am Gaumen ebenso würzig und schmelzig, baut sich in vielen Schichten auf, mächtig, aber auch saftig und klar, eine Fruchtbombe, sattes, langes Finale.

The 2016 Sicilia Adènzia is equal parts Nero d'Avola and Syrah from the heart of the Mediterranean. This is a robust and velvety-textured red wine that makes a natural pairing partner to meat or pasta with ragù. The wine speaks in clear tones with well-enunciated elements of black fruit, spice, leather and tobacco. The Syrah seems to make the biggest impact in terms of bouquet, and the Nero d'Avola guides the mid-weight nature of the palate. This wine is simple, bright and fun to drink.

Straw-green. Big and ripe aromas of yellow apple, pear and botanical herbs, enlivened by a nice citrussy lift. Harmonious but lively acidity extend the flavors on the bright long finish.

Carmelo Bonetta is a Sicilian renegade. His radiant personality doesn't just fill a room: It fills a stadium. It is always a pleasure to recognize that exuberance and good cheer in the wines of Baglio del Cristo di Campobello. The 2013 Sicilia Nero d'Avola Lu Patri is a dark and rich red wine with pretty concentration and loads of dark blackberry, cherry and plum. Those generous fruit tones are matched by oaky flavors of vanilla and exotic spice. There's a bit of red earth and dark mineral in there as well. The wine is soft and velvety in texture.

This is a nicely balanced but subdued (in a good way) expression of Sicily's mighty Nero d'Avola grape. The 2014 Sicilia Nero d'Avola Lu Patri exhibits uniform ripeness. This is a very important quality of this vintage. Because the fruit is not too ripe, you can make out the smaller aromatic details that might otherwise be lost. Those details include wild cherry, rose petal marmalade and sweet tobacco. This wine rests in French barrel for 14 months.

Dunkles, sattes Rubinrot. Elegante, dunkelbeerige Nase nach satten Amarenakirschen, Zwetschken, dann Veilchen und getrocknete Rosenblätter, Macchia-Kräuter, Holzwürze. Am Gaumen gehaltvoll und stoffig, baut sich mächtig auf, mineralisch und saftig, zeigt viel Muskeln und dennoch Trinkfluss, sehr harmonisch.

The 2015 Sicilia Nero d'Avola Lu Patri embraces every last sunbeam of this hot vintage. This is a dark and saturated expression of Sicily's Nero d'Avola grape that delivers ripe, almost sweet, tones of Morello cherry and cherry liqueur. You also get cinnamon, tilled earth and baking spice. The wine shows soft tannins and lots of rich fiber and dark padding. A good pairing would be beef bourguignon.
