Federico Cerelli's latest creation from Sicily is here.

It's from the village of Salaparuta, which is one hour south of Palermo on the island's western side.

The Nero d'Avola vineyards have been farmed organically for over 20 years, and with strong winds blowing through all year round, the grapes are kept cool, fresh and healthy despite the heat.

Federico tells me that this is exactly what you need to achieve the balance of ripeness and freshness to make truly great red wines.

Think luscious black cherries and blackberries, bright florals and those lovely tea leaf flavours you get in Italian reds. It’s spicy, powerful and smooth, but with a delicious elegance and freshness to it too.

I poured a sneak preview at our Spring tastings, and people loved it.

John Wilson of The Irish Times was seriously impressed, highlighting it as one of his wines of the tasting and adding: 'big and full-bodied with masses of dark fruits and a core of soft tannins; it still has a certain elegance. One for the hedonists amongst us'.

And because this is Salaparuta, and not Etna or even Tuscany, at €28.54 a bottle it is just amazing value for a wine of this quality.
