2015 Valle dell'Acate Cerasuolo di Vittoria

SKU #1426246 92 points Vinous

Outer quote mark Moderately saturated red. Musky, flinty aromas and flavors of red cherry, cherry skin, flowers and aromatic herbs; you can really smell and taste the Frappato. Rich and full, offering considerable minerality to its precise mouthfeel that finishes with round tannins, a hint of mint and very good length. A blend of 60% Nero d’Avola and 40% Frappato, but this utterly lovely, charming and very floral wine tastes like it has more than that. (ID) Inner quote mark (8/2019)

91 points James Suckling

Outer quote mark Aromas of bright berries and orange peel with some ash undertones. Medium-bodied, fresh and vibrant with a hot-stone and dried-cherry aftertaste. Inner quote mark (10/2018)

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Outer quote mark Made according to the classic blend of 60% Nero d'Avola and 40% Frappato, the 2015 Cerasuolo di Vittoria Classico is a textbook interpretation from one of my favorite red wine appellations in Sicily. What I love about Cerasuolo di Vittoria is that it delivers some of the most accessible, elegant and food-friendly wines you can find in Sicily. This versatile wine offers bright berry and blueberry aromas with delicate spice and tar at the back. (ML) Inner quote mark (12/2018)

Italy

- Once named Enotria for its abundant vineyards, Italy (thanks to the ancient Greeks and Romans) has had an enormous impact on the wine world. From the shores of Italy, the Romans brought grapes and their winemaking techniques to North Africa, Spain and Portugal, Germany, France, the Danube Valley, the Middle East and even England. Modern Italy, which didn't actually exist as a country until the 1870s, once produced mainly simple, everyday wine. It wasn't until the 1970s that Italy began the change toward quality. The 1980s showed incredible efforts and a lot of experimentation. The 1990s marked the real jump in consistent quality, including excellence in many Region that had been indistinct for ages. The entire Italian peninsula is seeing a winemaking revolution and is now one of the most exciting wine Region in the world.
