 Regaleali Nero d'Avola IGT Sicilia 2005 Although Sicily has been producing great wines for three thousand years, it is one of Europe's fastest growing wine regions! Sicily was the Roman Empire's first province, but throughout its long history, it has been ruled by the Romans, Byzantines, French, Germans, Spanish and Italians. Wines are a reflection of their environment, and Sicilian wines are no exception. They are part of a cuisine shaped by a dozen civilizations. Nero d'Avola is a hearty red wine varietal indigenous to Sicily and used in many of Sicily's most popular wines. Many compare Nero d'Avola to Syrah. Regaleali Nero d'Avola was one of the first to be introduced in the American market. Cultivated in the heart of the island, this wine expresses the style and class of well-known European wines. With its bright ruby color and rich bouquet of ripe cherries and blackberries, the wine matches well with a variety of foods not limited to southern Italian cuisine! |

| fork's arancine |
 Fabrizia's mother, Anna Tasca Lanza, originally introduced me to Arancine, one of Sicily's classic street foods. Arancine are saffron risotto balls that resemble a small orange (called arancia in Italian) in shape, size and color. Traditionally, the balls were filled with meat ragu and lightly breaded with breadcrumbs. Our simplified version uses prosciutto and Parmigiano Reggiano instead of meat and sauce. For a nice crispy crust, we lightly dust the balls with Japanese breadcrumbs that are lighter and airier than traditional breadcrumbs. Arancine are a fun party food or hors d'oeuvres!
