The 2008 Colosi Rosso (Nero d’Avola) is the more rustic of these two reds from Colosi. Dark wild cherries, flowers, herbs and spices come together quite nicely in this hearty, medium-bodied red. The Rosso is another fabulous wine for the money. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2013. Colosi is an excellent source for fabulous values from Sicily. Year after year these are some of the most delicious wines I run across under $20 a bottle.Importer: Vias Imports, New York, NY; tel. (212) 629-0200

A well-priced wine packed tight in oak-aged aromas of ripe fruit and spice. There’s a warm, jammy feel and the mouthfeel is soft and easy. ——M.L.(4/1/2012)—— 86
