Black cherry and sliced blood-orange aromas. Medium to full body, orange-peel undertones and a juicy finish. Clean, focused and real. Delicious all round. From organically grown grapes. Drink now. (James Suckling)

The 2021 Cerasuolo di Vittoria wafts up, more savory than sweet, with smokey earth tones and crushed rocks giving way to black raspberry. This washes across the palate with mineral-tinged red and blue berry fruits complicated by inner herbal tones. Brisk acidity maintains energy throughout as the 2021 tapers off with a salty flourish, leaving licorice and spice hints to linger. (Eric Guido)

Lots of stewed black cherries and plums on the nose, with underlying violets and roses. Medium to full body, chewy tannins and a fresh finish. A little tight at the end. Drink or hold. (James Suckling)

Pretty plum and raspberry fruit flavors are accented by a fine, aromatic thread of dried thyme, smoky mineral and rosehip in this harmonious, light- to medium-bodied red. Drink now through 2024. 2,080 cases made, 105 cases imported. (Alison Napjus)

As if you can smell the ashen volcanic soils that these vines grow in, the 2018 Nerello Mascalese Eruzione 1614 wafts up smoky and musky, with a complement of cherry and dried strawberry that fully completes the experience. This is soft and fleshy in feel, boasting a noticeable inner sweetness nicely balanced by brisk acids and pretty inner florals. The 2018 lacks the persistence and structure to promote long-term cellaring, but makes up for it with sheer drinkability. (Eric Guido)

Pretty orange blossom with cranberry and crab apple aromas as well as watermelon. Medium body with fine and polished tannins that shows energy and length. Very fine-textured at the end. Drink now or hold. (James Suckling)

A blend of licorice and rose gives way to crushed red plums as the 2021 Etna Rosso comes to life in the glass. It’s soft and round with depths of black cherry and wild berry fruit offset by a savory suggestion of liquid stone. This tapers off structured with a primary concentration coating, and tart cranberry tones resonate. (Eric Guido)

Brooding in the glass, the 2018 Santa Cecilia takes its time to develop its hauntingly alluring bouquet. Swirling unlocks depths of plum sauce and sage mixed with enriching notes of brown spice and, finally, a lifting hint of camphor. It boasts medium-bodied weight and the silkiest of textures, nearly glycerol in feel, as waves of ripe red and black fruits are offset by a twang of sour citrus that rings like a dinner bell amongst this sea of dark depths. Sweet tannins linger through the finale, leaving a classically dry nut only lightly structured sensation, as hints of licorice and inner rose fade. The 2018 Santa Cecilia, a varietal Nero d’Avola from Noto, is a huge success from a difficult vintage. Sometimes I struggle with a score for a wine that is atypical of the vintage, but plainly stated, the 2018 is a showstopper. (Eric Guido)

Welcome to the modern face of Sicily’s deep wine tradition. The bouquet of black plum with licorice and spice notes pulls you into this rich but beautifully balanced nero d’avola with velvety tannins that build gently through the long, polished finish. Drink or hold.

Fresh, loamy earth and sun-dried cherry and raspberry fruit flavors ride the silky palate of this focused, medium- to full-bodied red. Fresh acidity and an iron-laced streak of mineral provide focus and drive through the lightly chewy finish of herbs and spice. Nero d’Avola. Drink now through 2028. 3,650 cases made, 190 cases imported. (Alison Napjus)

Planeta’s 100% Nero d’Avola La Segreta bottling has a delicate blend of fruit and earth on the nose, from cherries and pomegranate to tobacco leaf and nettles, with a hint of rubber sole. Cherries appear again on the palate, as do blueberries and plums before savory notes of cedar bark and roots come through on the back of tannins that are present but not intrusive.

A lush white, revealing rich hints of beeswax, butterscotch and chopped nuts that accent baked pear, pineapple and persimmon fruit flavors. Fresh and focused, thanks to a firm, well-knit backbone of citrusy acidity, which also drives the long, creamy finish. Fiano. Drink now through 2030. 4,450 cases made, 360 cases imported.

Roasted hazelnuts, mixed herbs and capers fried in butter with lemon on the nose follow onto a palate that adds more citrus along with honey, sliced through with saline notes and bright acidity. (Danielle Callegari)

Plenty of wood spices, vanilla and praline here with lemon rind and ripe pineapples. Bright and creamy on the palate with a full body and flavorful, zesty finish. From organically grown grapes. Needs time to let the wood settle. Try from 2025. (Zekun Shuai)
