America alone. There are many producers of cordials and licjuems. A 
great variety of wines are shown. A mild and dry Riminesi wine, 
grown at Port Ercole or Mont Argentale, partakes of the nature 
of Madeira and sherry. It is supposed that the vines were introduced 
by the Spaniards while they occupied the Presidii.

Although only ten provinces out of fifty-nine are represented, the 
collection contains a type of the principal wines drunk at the table of 
the wealthy and the homely board of their less opulent neighbours, dry, 
white wines, red table wines, full-bodied red wines, white, and reel sweet, 
and effervescing varieties ; each sample being labelled with the price at 
which it is obtainable on the spot. 
Some of the most important of these s exhibitors are the 
following : — 
" Count della Torre gained the prize and much commendation at the 
National Exhibition of wine held in Turin in 1864, as offering the best 
of those made at Caluso. The wines of this exhibitor are made of 
erbaluce and pelleverde grapes. They are somewhat analogous to 
Frontignan and Lunel, but have more body and a different aroma. At 
present they are sold at a very high price, but there is'reason to believe 
that shortly the proprietors, profiting by the increasing favour which 
they find, will cultivate them on a more extensive scale, so that the 
prices will fall proportionally. 
" Esuperanzo Buelli, of Bobbio, a district which belonged to the late 
kingdom of Sardinia, but annexed in 1859 to the Province of Pavia, 
exhibits a variety of wines made from vines cultivated by himself, the 
greater part of which are foreign, as the very names themselves will 
show. He sells annually about 12,000 bottles of wine, carrying on his 
business with increasing diligence, intelligence, and success ; his white 
wines, however, are mors highly thought of than the red. 
" Count Manfredo Bertone di Sambuy is extending his vineyards 
yearly more and more in the vast champaign in which the battle of 
Marengo was fought sixty-five years ago, and where both climate and 
soil combine favourably to the production of excellent wines of various 
kinds. The vines have been brought partly from France and partly from 
the Rhine, others are indigenous. The exhibitor is turning his atten-
