A world-class Sicilian white

2010 Cometa, Planeta, Sicily, Italy (about £23.50, Greatwesternwine.co.uk; Slurp.co.uk; Majestic, Handford 020-7589 6113; Selfridges, 0800-123 400; The Wine Shop at Harrods, 020-7730 1234; Villeneuve Wines, 01721-722500).

I went to a restaurant called Zucca in Bermondsey Street, London, the other day and enjoyed one of the best lunches I can remember. The food was outstanding, incredibly fresh, not too dear and not too filling. The wine list was exceptionally well chosen and very good value (I can spot a naughty margin a mile off).

Without giving too much away, our second white was Cometa, a succulent, lusty, decadent and stunningly oaked Fiano made by Sicily's most famous trailblazing estate. It is an awe-inspiring wine made in the shape of a top-flight white Burgundy. You ought to drink it at Zucca, but if you can't, then make sure that you have some at home it is world class.
