FEATURED POURS
2004 MUGO TENUTA SAN MICHELE MOUNT ETNA CABERNET SAUVIGNON SPECIAL PRICE $9.49
Ruby red, with light garnet highlights, full-body, excellent structure, balanced dark-cherry fruit and light tannins. With just an edge of minerals from the unique volcanic Mount Etna soil, this Cabernet has a wonderfully-balanced elegance with a clean, subtle finish. Twelve months in oak and a year in bottle before release.
2005 SAMBUCA ROSSO NERO D'AVOLA-SANGIOVESE SPECIAL PRICE $3.49
A 70-30 blend of Nero d'Avola and Sangiovese, respectively, this wine is filled with crazy-beautiful cherry aromas, light tannins, and deep black-cherry color. Well-balanced and rich in black-fruit flavors, it stands ready to enhance any table fraught with food and delight. The grapes are grown in one of the most famous regions of Sicily not far from Lake Arancia and the ancient city of Sambuca. At this price, it is an exceptional value and exceptional companion to any barbequed dinner.
2005 VESCO ROSSO NERO D’AVOLA-CABERNET SPECIAL PRICE $4.49
From the rich, low-lying Trapani soils of Sicily that follow the Mediterranean Sea along the western shore, this beautiful balanced blend delights the palate as it combines the Cabernet’s full-mouth black cherry, black currant with the classic plum and raspberry of the Nero d’Avola with just a note of vanilla flavors. Mentioned by well-known Italian wine critic, Nicolas Belfrage, as one of the most interesting and delightful blends to come out of Sicily. Food friendly Sicilian, it goes well with any red sauce or meat.
2006 CARTA D'ORO DOC BIANCO D'ALCAMO SPECIAL PRICE $3.49
This DOC Bianco d'Alcamo produced by Rallo is a Catarratto that possesses delicate tropical flavors with just enough acidity to give it a distinct crisp finish. The light but rich citrus aromas add subtlety that few white wines can match. A perfect first-course wine that will enhance fish or fowl appetizers and light pasta-sauce dishes.
N/V AULICO INZOLIA-CHARDONNAY PARTANNA SPECIAL PRICE $2.49
Blending these two grapes, one unique to Sicily, the other world famous, creates delicate aromas and crisp flavors of citrus, green apple, honeysuckle, and just a hint of white peach. A deliciously delicate white with two months in oak is balanced and harmonious and perfect for light antipastos, white meats, soups, and grilled fish.
