Warm blackberries and spice notes. Way more acidity than I expected. There is this unique quality in these more natural sicilian producers where they can just nail that balance between ripe fruitiness and tart freshness.

Clear ruby red. Bright raspberry on the nose. Tart rapsberry juice, lemon peels, blood oranges. Very much what you think of when you think of Sicily.

A bit underwhelming. Well balanced but mild, like you're waiting for the rest of the story. Expensive for the experience.

Wild blackberry, Santa Rosa plum and blood orange against red clay and wet straw – a dark, earthy wine with gentle tannins. Giambattista Cilia & Gusto Occhipiniti of natural winery COS bring us this perfectly finessed, unfiltered, very low-sulfite beauty – exactly what we hope for when we think of Nero D'Avola. Extremely drinkable, Nero Di Lupo (The Black Wolf) plays well with just about any savory dish, but cries out for a bacon-cheeseburger or a black bean burrito. Viva Sicily!
