Colosi 2005 Sicilia Rosso is a dry red wine made from the nero d'avola grape from sicily... has a dark ruby red color, black cherry, black plum, strawberries, cassis & a smoky earthy aroma. Smooth silky finish. Great with pasta, pizza, cheeses & meats. A 750 ML bottle can be had for about 10 bucks, but it tastes like it's more like a $25.
