Man killed in Dublin truck crash named locally as appeal issued
A man who was killed after being hit by a truck while walking to work in Dublin last week was a Brazilian national 'in search of a better life' in Ireland. The victim, named locally as Romulo Cerasuolo, 34, was heading to work when the fatal collision took place on Ballyboden Way last Friday morning. He was tragically pronounced dead at the scene just after 8.30am. Now, a fundraiser has been set up on GoFundMe by pals of Mr Cerasuolo to help return his remains back to his family in Brazil, called 'Romulo Cerasuolo -Help us get him back home.' So far €12,245 has been raised by 648 donors. The Brazilian community in Dublin are pleading for funding support in a bid to help Mr Cerasuolo's family to cover the cost to "transfer of his body to his homeland". They wrote: "Romulo was hit by a lorry on Ballyboden Way, Dublin 16, and sadly died on the spot. "The news shocked the entire community, especially those who lived with him and knew his dedication, discretion and generous heart. Romulo came to Ireland in search of a better life, like so many of us. "He worked hard, lived simply and always remained firm in his commitment to his family in Brazil, who are now facing not only the immense pain of his loss, but also the difficulty of paying for the transfer of his body to his homeland." "That's why we've set up this fundraiser. Our aim is to help his family take Romulo back home, so that he can have a dignified burial, surrounded by the love of those who saw him born," they continued. "The amount needed for the transfer is high - so every donation, no matter how small, will make a big difference." Mr Cerasuolo's local community is now coming together in an effort to cover the cost of his repatriation. For more information or to donate to the fundraiser, click here. Gardai continue to appeal for witnesses to the fatal collision and have asked anyone who may have witnessed the collision or who may have relevant footage of the area at the time to come forward. In a statement, a Garda spokesperson said: "Gardai are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed this collision to contact them.

Wine with Leslie: Rediscovering an Italian grape that almost went extinct
As I write this, I'm still on an Italian high, having spent the last 10 days in the college city of Pescara in Abruzzo on the Adriatic Sea. My son is studying there (Planetary Geosciences, since you ask), and having a brilliant time. We could see why he loves it, the weather is warm, the beach is just a few minutes walk from his apartment (and from where we were staying), and the food and wine are excellent and great value. We ate dozens of arrosticini (lamb skewers that cost €1-€1.20 each), we ate fish fresh from the Adriatic either steamed or fried as fritto misto, and lots of fresh pasta, either with shellfish or in tomato sauce with tiny meatballs. We also visited gorgeous hilltop towns such as Castel del Monte and marvelled at the mountains and the stunning scenery in all directions, and we met no other tourists. As you might expect, we drank Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, that richly fruited, supple red wine that is the house wine in almost every Italian restaurant. Montepulciano has jumped in quality in the last 20 years, and it is rare to find a poor one, even if you are spending less than €12. Also watch for wines from Terre di Chieti IGT, and don't forget the whites and rosés. For whites, Abruzzo used to be known for Trebbiano d'Abruzzo, but I hardly saw any; instead, it was Pecorino that filled the wine lists and shelves. The Pecorino grape was brought back from the brink of extinction in the past two decades. It is fragrant, has good sugar levels, bright acidity and copes well with heat as well as altitude, so is suited to Abruzzo. We also drank lots of Cerasuolo, the rich fruity rosé also made from Montepulciano. We would go back to Abruzzo in a heartbeat. Cataldi Madonna Giulia 'Pecorino', Abruzzo, Italy €27 Pecorino deserves to be better known and of the many I tasted in Abruzzo this was my favourite, proving a fine match for fritt-misto and spaghetti alla vongole. Floral, lime, acacia and white peach aromas, weighty and round on the palate with balancing acidity and a citrus kick. Also watch for Pecorino from Zaccagnini, Tollo, Ciu-Ciu and Gran Sasso. Deveneys; Baggot St Wines; McHughs Cantina Zaccagnini 'Twiggy' Cerasuolo, Abruzzo, Italy €17-20 Don't be put off by the darker colour as it is typical of the region and is no indication of sweetness (the next vintage will be lighter). Cerasuolo means 'cherry' and that is one of the primary aromas, along with raspberries and a touch of flora. Ripe and fruit-forward but dry and clean with balancing acidity and freshness. SuperValu; Castle Tralee; Molloys; JJ O'Driscolls Cantina Tollo Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, Italy €17.95 This is from a progressive co-op whose members farm organically. Hand harvested, minimum intervention winemaking is practised. Bright dark red-purple, violets, cherry and berry fruit aromas, ripe and fruity on the palate with touches of liquorice and blackberry. Tollo's other wines are also recommended including their Pecorino and their 'Insetti' red. Bradleys; L'Atitude 51; WorldWideWines; GreenMan; Baggot St Wines; Tipperary Whiskey 7 Year Single Malt 'Sake Finish' 50% ABV€119.95 Distilled from barley grown on their farm in Tipperary, this recently won a silver medal at the Tokyo Whisky & Spirits Competition, no mean feat. Fresh blackcurrant, dried fruit and honey aromas, a creamy smooth, fruit-focused palate, pepper, spice and sake notes on the finish. Complex and rather thrilling — a perfect Father's Day gift.
