With the month of February upon us, we are at last into the final straits of Winter, with its leaden skies and penetrating humidity. Dare we hope for better weather with the Spring, as the crocuses push their way out of the soggy ground and thrushes start to sing in the still bare branches? There is still a little way to go yet, but opening a bottle of Sicilian wine may uncork a little sunshine into your glass whilst we wait.
