Fabio's entry-point Catarratto that blends grapes from both his sandy coastal vines and those from the valley, further inland. Sharp-edged and linear, with zesty white peach and apricot stone fruits cut through with a long beam of acidity. A wine that speaks of the ocean breeze and rolling hills of western Sicily.

Electrically-charged Etna rosso with plenty of brooding charisma, its character transmitting as a fresh heap of cherries steeped in violet perfume, buoyed on a black cushion of volcanic smoke. Find out more.
Some incredible value to be found here from this Sicilian co-operative. A light touch in the cellar steers it away from the more bland, commercial style too. Plenty of change from £20! Find out more.

A powerful, structured expression of Verdicchio that can age with aplomb. Highly concentrated, oily lemon citrus, a little opulence from time in barrel and a distinct salinity from the ancient sea bed over which the vines are planted. A serious wine best enjoyed with some good pasta or seafood. Find out more.
