Vibrant, crisp Nero d'Avola at a very good price: that's the whole brief behind Calea, and more Sicilian reds should take it on. Calea is a joint project between the importer Polaner Selections and the Botter winery, set up to make affordable, pure Nero d'Avola from rural Sicily. The grapes come from vineyards near Trapani in western Sicily, facing west and southwest at about 350 metres on calcareous clay. Even the label pulls its weight: it draws on Sicily's architectural traditions, in colours meant to suggest the island's bright sunlight and burnished earth. This is an honest, unfussy red to keep a few of around for weeknights, made by people who care about getting it right without charging extra for the effort.

More about Calea

Josh Jensen found limestone in California and built a legend on it. In 1974 he discovered 324 acres in San Benito Country with a generous limestone deposit (a limekiln, or 'calera' in Spanish)—named his label after it, and never looked back. His Pinot Noirs—particularly the single-vineyard expressions—are considered California's Grand Crus: minimalist, Burgundy-inspired, textbook terroir expressions. Robert Parker once nicknamed Calera 'California's Romanée-Conti.' Jensen's Chardonnay and Viognier are equally thoughtful. A natural winemaking pioneer when minimalism wasn't trendy.

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Pasta alla Norma; caponata on grilled bread; pizza with fennel sausage or 'nduja; grilled pork sausages with peppers and onions; arancini with ragù; seared tuna with a tomato-caper sauce.

Tasting Profile

Expect the bright, juicy side of Nero d'Avola: ripe cherry, plum and blackberry with a touch of spice and dried herbs. Typically medium-bodied, with crisp acidity and soft, easygoing tannins, it finishes dry, fresh and clean. Think of a sunnier, fruit-forward cousin of an everyday Côtes du Rhône, made for weeknight pasta.
