Sicily

Lifted aromatics and electric intensity - this is a bottle for a table covered in food and lined with friends. These vineyards have been in the family since 1860. Flavia and Giacomo have all that history behind them. They know how to get out of the way and let the vines sing a (Sicilian) pop song. Orange blossom, pink grapefruit, honeysuckle - this is very fun to drink!

Although relatively unknown until recently, we are now in a world in which Frappato might just be the new Beaujolais. This expression is as classic as it gets - Light and ethereal while also being concentrated and complex, it is a tremendous example of power without weight, one of the most elusive qualities found in the best wines.

Master botanist Pasquale Marino discovered a small grove of nearly-extinct  Biancolilla Centinara olives on the Bona Fortuna farm in Sicily, and set about reviving them. The result is an oil with a delicate nose of wild herbs and a robust green body, reminiscent of tomato leaf and grilled artichoke. Perfectly suited to finish richer dishes — think mushroom pasta or polenta and braised short rib — or mixed with a bit of pepperoncini honey for dipping.
