is Primilivo del Tarantino •TMonili” at £4.99. This


red wine is dark, ruby in colour, has rich spicy notes, fairly full in the mouth and has a rounded softfinish. Alberto Pagano,'90


years old and long-time owner of two equally venerable Primitivo vine­ yards, used to sell his grapes until the 1998vin­ tage, when he made his first wines with the help of the winemaker from Pervini and his winemak­ er son-in-law Mario Calo. Both wines are vinified very traditionally, but represent the new wave of quality and character that are emerging from the best sites in Puglia. Produced in very limit­


ed quantities, from bush vines up to 60 years old, the Porlile is £6.49 and


the Dunico is £11.89, both big powerful wines yet

SCOTLAND has to be high on my list of favourite countries. The scenery is simply breathtaking


and, more importantly, on the doorstep. So I was delighted to get my hands on a copy of Colin Prior's wonderful


book. I t is simply, a magnificent photo­


graphic record of the country’s land­


scape. The book follows on from Highland Wilderness, which was just as impres­


sive. His latest creation contains striking


double pages full of rarely pho­ tographed areas of the Scottish wilder­


ness and shows why Colin has won so many awards for his photography. I t has taken Colin four years to put


together the photographs and he has picked his favourite locations for most


of the shots. The images include focusing the sol­


stices of mid-winter and summer and


other seasonal shifts. Colin took most of his photographs


in the magical hours of dawn and dusk when composition, fine light and colour combine to create a remarkable


image. I t is definitely worth a place on your


book shelf. REBECCA SMITH
