ASTI ?

Briniest ?
10a Asti (hidden in clue backwards)
Question Author
Thank you Baldric
Question Author
Thank you for the explanation Maurice
I think 15a must be "rainiest" if your 2nd letter could be wrong!
Question Author
Cannot be briniest because there is a space between the E and T - (e is last letter of Absence - answer to 7 down) Back to the drawing board!
it is 'rainiest'
Question Author
The R is in salt farm (5down) the N is in Drunk as a Lord (11 down) the E is in Absence 7 down and the T is in Alimentary (8 down) I had thought it to be an anagram of give it a rinse but it cannot be!
5d: salt flat
Question Author
Sorry Bibblebub - just realised it could be salt flat and it is rainiest! Much obliged for your intervention!!!
15a Anagram of "it a rinse"=rainiest
