one or more of the preceding group to improve the body 

 and flavour of the product. 



For the production of red wines the following sorts 

 will be found to give the best results in our climate : 

 Aglianico nero, Alicante Henri Bonschet, Barber a, Ca- 

 najolo nero, Catlana seuda, Frappato nero di Vittoria, 

 Gelleuza or Mammolo nero, (j-elleuza tuila, Gorbin, 

 Grinjola, Grinjolin, I sued tal Beika, Isued tal Hauuief, 

 Nebbijlo, Nigru Gross, Pinot noir, Serkusan and Seuda 

 tal M oka. Fable wines of deep colour, good flavour and 

 body, and good keeping quality, suitable for direct con- 

 sumption, as well as for blending with other wines, are 

 produced by Pinot noir, hited tal Beika, Frappato nero 

 di Vittorii, Seuda tal Mofia, and in certain years also 

 Barber a, Gelleuza and Serkusan. Nigru gros or Sangio- 

 veto gros so, Gorbin, Aglianico nero and Isued tal Hauuief 

 yield an abundant but rough product if pressed alone, and 

 require the addition of Gelleuza, and especially of Crelleu- 

 za tuila, of Canajolo nero, Grinjola and other sugary and 

 slightly aromatic grapes. However, it is always advisable 

 to specialize and grow only one or perhaps two sorts of 

 wine grapes, with one or two other sorts to be grown to 

 a less extent, for use as correctives, to secure a better 

 and more palatable product. 



As regards table grapes the following are desirable 

 white sorts, viz : Insolja tiimrania or Trebbiano della 

 Fiamma, Bezzula bajda or Pizzutello di Gattinara, Inso- 

 Ija ta Chelul, Insolja ta Burnahkala, Mignuna bajda 

 tar-Rabat, Nuccellata, Salamanna and Muscatell. In- 

 soljd tal Ghirghenti is probably our best white grape for 

 late keeping, and Auista Bajda or Agostenga and Mig- 

 nuna bajda tal Cannizzati or Lugllenga are two very 

 good early sorts. 



Auista Seuda or Agostenga nera is a beautiful and 

 good-flavoured grape, both early and long keeping.
