Italy – White – 2009 – 12%
Region: Sicily
Producer: Ca Di Ponti
Grape: Cataratto
Pale yellow wine with aromas of peach and beach pebbles. Smooth with slight acidity; faint bubble-gum flavour over stone fruits. Not a remarkable wine but not bad value.

Italy – Red – 2008 – 13%
Region: Sicily
Producer: Inycon
Label: Grower’s Selection
Grapes: Nero d’Avola / Frappato
A purple-red wine with aromas of currant and raspberry. Medium to full bodied with flavours of plum and rasperry jam. Had low expectations for this wine as Inycon appears to be a mass producer, however was pleasantly surprised with the velvety texture and full flavours. Not a bargain but an average value wine.
