The Nero d'Avola grapes come from vines up to 30 years old in the Noto region. Animating delicate fruity notes of pineapple and raspberry. Round, full and wonderfully drinkable on the palate, with beautiful fruit, spice and a cool, fresh final. SUPERIORE.DE

The pure Nero d'Avola is full of dark aromas of berries, black cherry, liquorice and tobacco. On the palate lush and distinctive with a wonderful spicy note of mint, aniseed and espresso. A really great wine at an impressively low price! SUPERIORE.DE

"Dark ruby red. Spicy dark fruity nose, liquorice, cocoa powder, rich cherry, but also violets and dried red rose petals. On the palate melty, fruit sweet and fine, opens with tightly woven, juicy tannin, good length, fine pressure." Falstaff

"A pure expression of Nero d'Avola, the 2016 Sicilia Saia is a rich and contemporary expression of this versatile Sicilian grape. The bouquet is layered and rich with plump cherry nuances followed by tobacco, spice and charred earth. This is a lavish and soft wine that maintains a mid- to full-bodied approach with soft tannins and sweet fruit endnotes." Robert Parker

"A more subtle Saia than in the past with freshly picked mulberries, elderberries, tobacco, cedar and resin. Full-bodied and very tight on the palate with polished tannins and a long finish. The combination of dark fruit and minerals is irresistible." James Suckling

Dark ruby red. In the bouquet fine notes of dark fruits, herb spices and delicately toasted wood. On the palate of impressive elegance and clarity, the fruit is always fresh and present, the polished tannins lead this almost Burgundian red into a beautiful final. SUPERIORE.DE

2016 was a very balanced wine year in Sicily and this exceptional wine is the current example of how the Syrah grape variety in particular can reach its peak in this exciting wine region.

Deep dark, sparkling ruby red. In the bouquet an opulent dark red fruit basket, intense and full-bodied. Already in the first sip a depth, which looks for unequalled in this price range. It is almost spectacular in which heights this wine is able to carry the connoisseur. He always convinces with an indescribable balance. Maharis is never fat or marmalade, but his potpourri of dark fruits, spices, mature leather and a subtle smoky note is always in balance with a surprising freshness and liveliness. In the finale it closes long, velvety and with rich texture. Great. SUPERIORE.DE

"Sparkling ruby with a slight violet hue. Opened with pronounced spicy notes, cardamom and eucalyptus, beautiful blueberry fruit, very clear. On the palate, polished and juicy, tannin with a good grip, a pithy finish." Falstaff

"An elegant, medium- to full-bodied Syrah, with muscular tannins providing fine definition for the flavors of black plum, olive tapenade and fig cake, showing minerally smoke and iron accents. Offers a well-spiced, chewy finish." Wine Spectator

"A spicy syrah that shows lots of freshness with balsamic, crushed stones, violets and black pepper. Full body, steely tannins and a mineral finish. Shows excellent composure and definition." James Suckling

"The 2016 Sicilia Syrah Mahâris is an inky dark and concentrated wine that marries the warmth of Sicily to heat-loving Syrah. You get some varietal tones of white pepper, bacon fat and chocolate, but these aromas are not as prominent as you might find in the great Syrahs of the Old and New World. In the case of this wine, that sunny Sicilian softness takes center stage and shapes sweet fruit and dark cherry flavors. To me, the Sicilian identity is ultimately stronger in this vintage of Mahâris than its varietal identity. That's what I love best about this wine." Robert Parker
