Calatrasi

Sicilian reds balancing Syrah, Merlot, and native Nero d'Avola.

Calatrasi operates in Terre Siciliane, the expansive wine region of southern Italy where Mediterranean heat and volcanic soils shape bold red wines. The winery's portfolio centers on Merlot and Syrah-based blends that draw from Sicily's indigenous and international grape traditions. The Merlot Sicilia D'Istinto anchors the range—a single-varietal expression of the region's capacity for ripe, structured reds. 'A Naca Rosso marries Syrah and Nero d'Avola, pairing the peppery intensity of the former with the dark cherry character of Sicily's native variety. The Cabernet Sauvignon–Shiraz Sicilia Accademia del Sole layers two complementary grapes into a wine that reflects the winery's approach to blending across regional and varietal lines. These wines have been assessed by Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, and Falstaff, positioning Calatrasi within the critical conversation around contemporary Sicilian production.
