Sicily Mixed Dozen

These 12 juicy Sicilian reds, whites and one pink deliver the sunshine and immense charm of this beautiful, diverse island. Winemakers call it a vine growing paradise, and these beauties explain why. Save $112 at a very modest $17.99 a bottle.

For his Sicilian Papavero pair, Scipione Guiliani finds Nero d’Avola for his fruity ‘Rosato’, and gorgeously ripe Pinot Grigio from high altitude coastal vineyards. Dino Taschetta offers his besselling Nerod’Avola and w/o Lucido, a mouthwatering, aromatic white wine with ripe peach, apricot and light citrus notes.

There’s a zesty Vermentino – all crisp citrus, juicy pear and sun-ripened charm and Mimmo Rosso is a silky smooth, fruity blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot, with a splash of Syrah from winemaker Domenico De Gregorio (known as Mimmo to his friends).
