Curatolo
Curatolo produces wines from Terre Siciliane in southern Italy, drawing on the region's distinctive terroir and indigenous varieties. The winery's portfolio centers on Nero d'Avola, Sicily's signature red grape, which appears both as a standalone expression and blended with international varieties. The Sarmaro Nero d'Avola–Syrah marries the local Nero d'Avola with Syrah to create a structured blend, while a Cabernet Sauvignon rounds out the range. Wine Spectator has rated these wines, with the Cabernet Sauvignon reaching 88 points, the Sarmaro blend at 87, and the varietal Nero d'Avola at 85. The winery's focus on Nero d'Avola reflects both regional tradition and the grape's ability to express the warm, mineral character of Sicily's volcanic soils.
