Gone are the days when the searing heat of the south of Italy and the islands cooked the berries that made wines, making them lacking in acidity and packed with raw tannins that stuck your gums to your lips! The wines of this area now are, in general, fresh and well fruited, balanced and chewy while still retaining the depth that made them partners to the rich dishes of this region. Grillo and Falanghina, Nero d’Avola and Primitivo all partner together to make a range of great value, great tasting wines that are ideal for everyday quaffing while many will surely be good on high days and holy days too.
