Degò wine bar & restaurant in collaboration with Les caves de pyrene
are pleased to invite you at the Sicilian wine tasting
which will be held the 8th December 2010.
The event will start at 6:30 pm and we will taste the following wines:

CARUSO & MININI www.carusoeminini.it

2009 Sicilia Bianco Inzolia “Terre di Giumara” Igt
Growing area: Trapani, Western Cape; Variety: 100% Inzolia
Clear with a bright straw-colour it shows rather lush, fresh-fruit aromas that blend citrus and melon and fresh white fruit with an
intriguing whiff of musk. Full and round in texture it is given structure by snappy citric fruit and tingling acidity; there's a hint of flowers
and a slight drying sensation in the long finish.

2009 Sicilia Bianco Grecanico “Terre di Giuamara Giuamara” Igt
Growing area: Trapani, Western Cape; Variety: 100% Grecanico
Remarkably serious wine for the price with a vinous quality. The nose is reminiscent of orange blossom, but the palate is more rounded
like the flesh of a pear.

FAZIO www.faziowines.it
2007 Sicilia
Sicilia Bianco Grillo Igt
Growing area: Erice, Western Cape; Variety: 100% Grillo
The Fazio vineyards cover an area of about 100 hectares planted on hills at an altitude from 250 and 500 metres (820-1640 feet), in
areas specifically selected for their exposition, microclimatic advantages (northerly winds and sea breezes) and the geological
characteristics of the soil. Their Grillo is a quite serious wine exhibiting peach and pear followed by aromas of broom, almond, apple
and pineapple.

CEUSO www.ceuso ceuso.it

ceuso
2008 Sicilia Rosso “Scurati” Igt
Growing area: Alcamo, Northern Sicily (near Palermo); Variety: 100% Nero d’Avola
Azienda Agricola Ceuso is a tiny estate of 30 hectares (of which 22 are cultivated to vines on limestone and clay soils) started by three
brothers - Antonino, Giuseppe, and Vincenzo Melia - who had careers as a farmer, oenologist, and agronomist respectively before
opening shop in 1990.Their Nero d’Avola is very clean in nature and tastes of plum and black berries and a velvety chocolate finish.

C.O.S. www.cosvittoria.it
2009 Sicilia Rosso Frappato Igt
Growing area: Vittoria (Ragusa, South East); Varieties: 100% Frappato
A biodynamic wine making team 100% loyal to the concept of terroir, making good use of the resources around them, and focusing on
the ‘truth’ that every vintage has to tell. Therefore no alterations are made in the wine, not even in ‘bad’ vintages, as the aim is to let the
wine speak for itself, and tell its own story. COS have even started ageing some wines in ceramic amphoras, in an effort to preserve
the purity of the wine that traditional oak seems to supress. Notes of almond and straw, and some of that citrus quality. On the palate it
is brisk and decisive, with a concentrated fruit quality that has a real tell-tale Italian bitter almond, or even Campari-like edge, to cool
pear and lemon fruit.

BENANTI www.vinicolabenanti.it
Etna “Rosso di Verzella” 2006 2006 DOC
Growing area: Volcanic slopes of the Etna (East Coast); Varieties: Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio
No fertilizers, herbicides or pesticides are used. The grapes are harvested by hand at the end of September until mid-October. The
wine is fermented in open topped stone containers cut into the volcanic rock. I Vigneri is a pure delight, tonic, juicy and driven, floral
and cherry with some fruit sweetness on the nose, coupled with Etna’s distinctive spice and some gentle tobacco notes. This is wine of
the place…as unencumbered and as representative and as local as it gets
