The ever-smiling Federica Lauterio has made wine all across Italy, and California too. But Sicily, Italy’s very own sunshine state, is where she’s really made her mark, with wines that reflect her own sunny disposition. Peach Stone gains its luscious roundness from local speciality Grillo, the grape behind Sicily’s new breed of fine whites. It’s also crackling with energy thanks to a generous dash of Sauvignon Blanc grown on the island’s higher slopes, where cool breezes produce pristine, pure tasting, lemony and grassy fresh fruit. Lovely on its own and superb with all kinds of seafood. Federica recommends serving this with freshly grilled sardines drizzled with lemon. A match made in Sicily that’s guaranteed to put a smile on your face.
