Colosi Rosso — Terre Siciliane IGT, Sicily 2023
Cantine Colosi is one of Sicily's most beloved producers — a family estate with deep roots in the island's winemaking tradition, farming vineyards across the volcanic soils of eastern Sicily and the sun-drenched hillsides of the Terre Siciliane. Their Rosso is a blend of Syrah and Nerello Mascalese — two varieties that thrive in Sicily's warm, dry climate — crafted to deliver the island's signature combination of ripe fruit, savory herbs, and velvety texture at an exceptional everyday price. This is the kind of wine that makes Sicilian red one of the world's great value categories: generous, food-friendly, and endlessly drinkable.
The color is intense, dark ruby red. The nose offers notes of black fruit, strawberries, flowers, and aromatic herbs — inviting and expressive. On the palate, it is dry and full-bodied with a velvety texture and delicious flavors of blackberry, plum, and strawberry, framed by savory spice and aromatic herbs. Medium to full-bodied with supple tannins that provide lift and structure — a natural match for the table.
"One of my favorite great value reds! Velvety textured with delicious flavors of blackberry, plum and strawberry with savory spice and aromatic herbs. Medium to full bodied with supple tannins that provide lift and structure. Great for pizza, pasta and any midweek excursion." — Bart Hopkins, 67Wine

Intense, dark ruby red. On the nose, notes of black fruit, strawberries, flowers and herbs. Dry and full-bodied on the palate.
James Suckling writes: A juicy red showing red plums, tobacco, oranges and some tar on the nose. Touch of sweet spices. It’s medium-bodied, soft and ripe, with lively acidity to balance. Nerello cappucio and nerello mascalese. Drink now. - James Suckling 90
