60% Nero d'Avola and 40% Frappato. Aged in Barrels and tonneaux for 12 months; bottle-aged for at least 9 months. Ripe hints of red fruits, blackberries, raspberries and cherries ; hints of spices including liquorice and cocoa. These vineyards are located on what is known as the “Bidini Soprano” plateau. The soil structure is divided between clear red sand and dark, medium density earth with good depth. The grapevines planted in dark red soil produce Nero d’Avola, while the vines planted in clear red soil produce Frappato. The Nero d’Avola and Frappato grapes are blended together to obtain the famous Cerasuolo di Vittoria.

A fine-tannined and pretty red with dark cherry, orange peel and spice. Medium-bodied with attractive fruit and a lightly chewy and dried-earth finish. Plenty here. Drink now. 92 Points James Suckling.
