2017 Donnafugata Sul Vulcano Etna Bianco

Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator, October 2020

“A polished white, creamy and lightly mouthwatering, with hints of oak spice and graphite accenting the baked pear, lemon glacé and hazelnut flavors. A tang of salinity shows on the finish. Drink now through 2025. 150 cases imported.”

2016 Donnafugata Tancredi

Monica Larner, Robert Parker Wine Advocate, October 2019

“Donnafugata's Tancredi is one of Sicily's most popular red wines, and it's easy to see why. The 2016 Tancredi is rich and soft at the same time, with a very pleasing texture that caresses the palate with dark fruit, spice and plum. The wine is mostly a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Nero d'Avola, although some Tannat and other grapes are thrown in. It ages in oak for 14 months. This is a complete effort that boasts thick layering and volume. Some 89,000 bottles were made.”

2015 Donnafugata Tancredi

James Suckling, James Suckling, June 2019

“A beautiful red that suggests currant bush, dark plums and cassis, together with vanilla and baking spices. Full-bodied with a really velvety texture. Even so, this remains balanced, due to the influence of the solid acidity and tannin backbone. Drink now or hold.”

2016 Donnafugata Tancredi

Ian D'Agata, Vinous, August 2019

“Very deep ruby. Strong notes of graphite, underbrush, roasted coffee beans and graphite on the nose and in the mouth. A ripe fruit presence on the long close gives this a fleshy mouthfeel but the acidity does not seem totally in balance. Try cellaring for a couple of years and hope for the best, but I wonder.”

2015 Donnafugata Tancredi

Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator, April 2020

“Fragrant, with anise and mineral accents, this medium- to full-bodied red is finely knit and focused. Supple tannins define the flavors of cassis and cured tobacco, revealing a touch of sandalwood. Offers a long, fresh finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Nero d'Avola and Tannat. Drink now through 2027. 3,250 cases made, 625 cases imported.”

2018 Bibi Graetz Grilli

Monica Larner, Robert Parker Wine Advocate, August 2020

“The Bibi Graetz 2018 Grilli is an entry-level blend of Cabernet Franc, Syrah and Merlot that pours from the bottle with a darkly saturated color and visible richness. To the palate, the wine offers generous tones of black fruit, dried blackberry, spice, cedar wood and rum cake. There is a lot to take in with this medium to full-bodied blended red from Tuscany. The wine's fruity richness continues to the palate, and the finish is driven by just enough acidity to add freshness and zest. As the wine opens, you get a hint of spice or savory maple syrup. This wine is very much alive in terms of mouthfeel, and it makes a great near-term drinking choice for a hearty pasta dish with wild boar sauce.”

2018 Bibi Graetz Grilli

James Suckling, James Suckling, June 2019

“Shows lots of energy and density with freshness at the same time. This cabernet sauvignon and merlot blend delivers a vibrant and juicy vibe. No wood. Drink and enjoy.”
