Notes From The Winemaker:
Our Cerasuolo di Vittoria is born in the beautiful countryside of Dorilli, between the sea and the Iblei mountains. The name of the only DOCG in Sicily is derived from "Cerasa", cherry in Sicilian dialect. It is produced from the indigenous varieties Nero d'Avola and Frappato. A unique wine, recognisable and unforgettable for its youthful flavours and aromas of cherry, strawberry and pomegranate, due to the characteristics of the soil and the climate where the vines are cultivated.A wine like few others, uniting tradition and delight.
COLOR: Ruby red with light cherry reflection
NOSE: Typical of wines from Victoria. Aromas of ripe pomegranate, small red fruits, strawberry, cherry, prickly pear fruit and candy. Very personal and recognizable, is the most territorial of our wines
PALATE: fruity and long, for freshness that concentration. Red velvettannins
Ratings & Reviews
90 Points - Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar:
"Light, bright red. The herbal, floral and fruity nose (red berries, sour red cherry) strongly reminded me of frappato. Then more red fruits on the palate, with enticing freshness and a hint of spice. Finishes bright, long and pure. Excellent." - Ian D'Agata (Mar/Apr '11)
Wine Spectator Magazine:
"Fresh and floral, offering ample plum and bright cherry character that picks up a hint of licorice on the juicy finish. Nero d'Avola and Frappato. Drink now. 7,500 cases made." –NW (Mar 31, 2011)
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (2010 vintage):
"The 2010 Cerasuolo di Vittoria is 60% Nero d'Avola and 40% Frappato. It is a big, plush Cerasuolo that needs at least a few more months in bottle to come together. Sweet red fruit, spices and flowers are some of the notes that emerge from this tasty Cerasuolo. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2016." - Antonio Galloni (June 2011)
