Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG Organic | Sicilian Red Wine

Description

Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG Organic is one of Sicily’s iconic wines, unique within its DOCG denomination, born from the encounter of two great native grape varieties: Nero d’Avola (60%) and Frappato di Vittoria (40%).

Grown according to organic farming principles, this wine represents a perfect synthesis of the strength of Nero d’Avola and the aromatic finesse of Frappato, in a harmony that reflects the authentic soul of the Vittoria (Ragusa) area.

To the eye, it presents an intense ruby red color with violet highlights. On the nose, it releases aromas of ripe red fruit, particularly blackberries and raspberries, accompanied by spicy notes of licorice and cocoa. On the palate it is intense, soft and full-bodied, with a balanced structure and a persistence that enhances its Mediterranean character.

Vinified in steel for 12 months and aged in bottle for a further nine months, this Cerasuolo expresses an elegant, authentic profile, capable of telling the story of the Sicilian territory in every sip.
