Named after the road that runs past the estate, this turns the Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG recipe on its head with 70% Frappato and 30% Nero d'Avola, vinified in concrete tanks. Vibrant dark cherry and blackberry aromas dance with light herbal touches, while the super-succulent palate is deep, sapid and fruity, with a lick of salinity and a long finish that hints at juicy blood orange.

The balance and accessibility of this crowd-pleasing red belie the focus of its concentrated boysenberry and black plum fruit, zesty milled pepper, ground anise and graphite notes, plus violet and marjoram aromatics. Integrates fine, sandy tannins and lively acidity before lingering on the iron-laced finish. This is hard to stop sipping, but take your time and let this open in the glass. Frappato and Nero d'Avola. (AN)
