Wine Note: A classic Sicilian dish calls for a classic Sicilian wine, but these can be hard to find. So opt for something with the same warm Mediterranean flavors: Librandi's red wine known as Ciro ($12). From the southern province of Calabria, it's spicy, juicy, and perfect for the bold, savory flavors of basil, garlic, eggplant, and mozzarella.
