Wine number five from InterWined’s tour of Italian wines is the 2003 Feotto dello Jato ‘Rosso di Turi’ Monreale Merlot.

A plump little Sicilian number with surges of sugar plum. Sweet little California raisins here and there as well. This wine dances with black currant. Not very Italian, but still quite fun and bright. Many Sicilian wines go down this route, and many Sicilian winemakers would object to be considered ‘Italian’. Maybe it’s too costly, though. £13.65: 8.8 points.
