Vinified 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)

Vinous

Review Date: 07/2025
Depths of black raspberry mingle with licorice and grilled herbs as the 2022 Cerasuolo di Vittoria Classico opens in the glass. Pleasantly sweet up front, it splashes across the palate with ripe wild berry fruit and a cascade of spice, all propelled by juicy acidity. The finish is crisp and lightly tannic, with a bitter tinge that calls the taster back for more. The 2022 aims to please. (EG)

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.
