In this episode wine experts Oz Clarke and Tom Surgey encourage you to be adventurous and join them as they explore wines from Sicily made with indigenous grapes – Cataratto Lucido, Frappato, Zibibbo and Inzolia. Watch as Oz and Tom discover a fresh white made using methods more popular in Italy’s cooler northern wine regions; find out why they think Frappato is the ideal wine for warmer weather and describe why an orange wine, made with Europe’s oldest grape variety, takes wine “back to the future”.
