Review Date: 05/2025Vinified in concrete and aged for 12 months in large French oak, before finishing in concrete again, this is spicy and wild, brambly and herbal. Touches of sottobosco mingle with strawberry and dark cherries, leading to a long, soft, balanced finish. (JB)

Notes
The 2022 Cerasuolo di Vittoria Classico is a soulful and vibrant blend of 60% Nero d'Avola and 40% Frappato, reflecting the unique sandy limestone soils of the Vittoria plateau. The nose is exceptionally fresh and expressive, offering pristine aromas of wild strawberries, raspberries, and mandarin oranges layered with subtle notes of crushed stones, almond, and wild Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, it is mid-weight and silky, balancing a juicy, lip-smacking texture with vibrant acidity and a mild, cedar-like tannic bite. The finish is complex and long, marked by a savory mineral snap and a distinct salty edge. A benchmark "natural" wine that perfectly captures the sun-drenched yet elegant character of southeast Sicily.
