Sicily is often overlooked when it comes to Italian wines, and Al thinks this is quite unfair. Here are three new releases that should appeal to you.
Price key: $=less than $20 $$= $20-40 $$$=$40-60 $$$$=above $60
Quality key: * = decent wine ** = very good wine *** = superb wine ****= elite
VALUE = exceptional quality for the money
Passo alle Sciare Etna Rosso, Sicily, '17 **1/2 $$$
(A light, juicy red wine, with complex aromas and flavors, mild tannin)
Ampelon Etna Bianco, Sicily, '18 ** $$
(Full bodied, rich, with an exotic aroma and flavor, grilled seafood match.)
Sospiro Grillo, Sicily, '21 *1/2 $ VALUE
(Bone dry, but with tasty fruit, soft chalky texture, serve with shellfish)
All of these wines can be purchased at Kenilworth Wine and Spirits.
