Cabernet Sauvignon, Nero d’ Avola und Tannat vereinen sich zu einem komplexen Wein mit Aromen von Beeren und Holz; besitzt einen frisch- kantigen, mit schönem fruchtigen Finale. Zu einem würzigen Braten.

Inky ruby. Deep aromas of dark berries, mocha and minerals. Multilayered and deep, with bright harmonious acidity giving focus to the dark fruit, herb and mineral elements on the long, minerally back end. This strikes me as a more refined version of Tancredi; for my taste, too many past vintages were excessively savory and herbal, with little if any of the refinement and nobility that distinguish the better Cabernet Sauvignon blends from around the world. (Ian d’Agata)

Medium-bodied and well-balanced, this open-knit red is aromatic with floral and oak spice accents, showing flavors of tangy black cherry, damson plum, salumi and herb-tinged smoke, with a lightly chewy finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Nero d’Avola and Tannat. Drink now through 2020. 450 cases imported.

The 2010 Tancredi is one of the top vintages produced. This is a smooth and supple blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Nero d’Avola and Tannat (with smaller percentages of other grapes) that ages in oak for 14 months. Tancredi presents an authentic Sicilian side thanks to the Nero d’Avola component, but will appeal to an international audience. Dark cherry, spice and chocolate converge on the richly textured finish.

A gorgeous red with mineral, dried berry and tea leaf aromas and flavors. Hints of wood. Full body, chewy tannins and fresh and lively finish. A blend of cabernet sauvignon and nero d’avola. Drink now.

The 2011 Tancredi is made of Cabernet Sauvignon, Nero d’Avola, Tannat and other red grapes (in the Sicilia IGT appellation). This is a huge wine with broad shoulders and a very opulent but forthcoming style. The bouquet offers jammy blackberry and cherry liqueur with spice, cola, licorice and Spanish cedar. Tancredi shows a spectacular level of intensity with power and muscle. This vintage delivers a powerful punch. The wine needs a few more months of bottle aging to loosen up.

The 2011 Angheli is a Sicilian blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon executed in a super plump and fruit-forward style. There’s a lot to like here and this pleasurable red would pair perfectly with succulent red meat or pork. Angheli is not necessarily “Sicilian” in character, in fact you could mistake it for a blended red from Maremma or southern Tuscany. What it lacks in territorial identity, it makes up for with sheer ease and drinkability. Drink: 2015-2020 (Monica Larner).

“Chiarandà is a sophisticated and slightly toasty blend of Ansonica and Chardonnay with aromas of ripe peach, pear, Golden Delicious apple, honey and almond butter. It has a soft, creamy consistency and lingering tones of spice and caramel. Pair it with shellfish or risotto with prawns.” Monica Larner

“This is an absolutely beautiful white wine (made from a blend of Ansonica and Chardonnay) that delivers rich and opulent tones of stone fruit, mon blossom. The wine excels in the mouth thanks to its richness and smooth creaminess. Imported by Folio Fine Wine Partners.” Monica Larner
