Reviewed August 2023The aromas of nectarines jump out of the glass with lemon blossom and crushed stone. Medium body with integrated tannins that coat and caress the palate. Fine and delicious. From organically grown grapes. Really delicious now.

The nose is umami, fresh and saline, with aromas of terracotta, fennel, stones polished in saltwater and wild cherries. On the palate, strawberries join more sweet wild cherries, but that salinity endures and keeps the wine feeling energetic and textured—anchored to the sea and the earth simultaneously. (DC)

Vinous
The 2021 Cerasuolo di Vittoria entices with a dusty bouquet of citrus-laced blackberries, dried violets and sweet smoke. This is pure and lifted in style, communicating undeniable elegance with a silken wave of ripe wild berry fruit that swirls throughout. It finishes classically dry yet only gently tannic, leaving hints of black raspberry and spice to linger. The 2021 is simply stunning today and has the balance to evolve beautifully through medium-term cellaring. (EG)
Notes
COS Cerasuolo di Vittoria is Sicily’s only DOCG wine, crafted from a blend of Nero d’Avola and Frappato. This unique expression delivers vibrant red fruit aromas of cherry and raspberry, with earthy undertones and hints of spice. On the palate, it is fresh and elegant, with balanced acidity, soft tannins, and a long, savory finish. A versatile red, perfect with pasta, grilled meats, or Mediterranean cuisine.
