A suave and modern version of this classic Sicilian red. Cerasuolo di Vittoria has a distinguished history and remains the only Sicilian wine recognised by Italy's highest DOCG status. The name Cerasuolo describes the 'cherry-like' nature of this aromatic style, where the local Frappato grape gives the red fruit and fresh mineral acidity while the Nero D'Avola frames it with a touch of colour and structure. Like its northern neighbour Etna, Cerasuolo has lately won kudos from international connoisseurs for its Burgundy-like poise, structure and aromatic appeal. This charming entry-priced example is really beautiful value.

Winery notes (2024 Vintage)
"Our Cerasuolo di Vittoria is produced from the countryside around Dorilli, between the sea and the Iblean mountains, the area of Sicilian food par excellence. The name of the only Sicilian DOCG derives of ‘cerasa’, cherry in Sicilian dialect. The wine is produced from the indigenous varieties Nero d’Avola and Frappato. A unique wine, recognisable and unforgettable; aromas of cherry, strawberry and pomegranate, fruits of the particular soils and climate. Here the vines are cultivated according to the criteria of sustainability and organicity. A wine in the wake of an ancient tradition, but with a youthful manner like no other Sicilian red wine.

Cerasuolo is extraordinarily recognizable to the nose, with a mosaic of red fruits and spices. Aromas of ripe pomegranate, strawberries, and red mulberries. The spicy soul recalls the Far East: sandalwood, coriander, and Sichuan peppercorn. In the mouth, the wine reflects the olfactory perceptions, and we happily discover black pepper mixed with carob and sweet cherries. The 2024 vintage is quite smooth, with a very full bodied and round finish with notes of mulberry."

92/100 Aldo Fiordelli, James Suckling (2024 Vintage)
"A restrained wine with aromas of chalk, fresh flowers, iodine and red fruit. Light-bodied and lifted yet chewy, it shows a silky texture and crisp acidity. Fragrant in the finish. Drink now."
