Feudo Maccari

The Nero d'Avola grapes come from vines up to 30 years old in the Noto region. Animating fruity notes, pineapple and raspberry. On the palate round, full and wonderfully drinkable, with beautiful fruit and a fresh finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright orange pink. The nose shows notes of tar, then of clay and salt, delicate fruit. On the palate juicy and firm, cool fruit of rose hip, light spicy notes round off the bouquet, medium weight." Falstaff

The extremely popular white wine from Maccari has been promoted to DOC wine and is now called "Olli". It caresses the nose and palate with an aromatic floral note and yellow fleshy fruit. Energetic, with resilience and expressiveness to the finish, this white from the Sicilian trend variety Grillo offers an exemplary value. SUPERIORE.DE

A rich ruby violet colour, very clear and intense bouquet with strong notes of dark fruits and a hint of violets. Juicy, fresh with plenty of ripe berries on the palate. Round, smooth and dense with a fruity-salty finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Brilliant ruby red. Open and inviting nose of raspberries and strawberries, underlaid with the finest notes of spices. Fresh and fruity on the palate, it expands beautifully and harmoniously, compact and melting, very salty, long, fruity and fresh finish". Falstaff

"Vivid and bright aromas of blackberries, blueberries and flowers. Medium to full body, light tannins and a tangy finish. Delicious." James Suckling

Expressive, intense white wine from the local Grillo grape, which began its quiet career as the exclusive "house wine" of the Moretti family and is only available in small quantities even today. A wide bouquet of exotic fruits, flowers and flint, fruity, soft and very harmonious on the palate. SUPERIORE.DE

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
