Delle Fontane Cerasuolo di Vittoria Classico 2018

Nicely aromatic & quite ethereal with ripe dark damson plum boosted by aniseed and fleur d’oranger. Some tart cherry, too. Sweet yet savoury with a mineral, dusty core underneath. Enticing.
Medium bodied on the palate, with firm, dusty, fine tannins, framing a nice core of dark cherry and bright super fresh acidity. A hint of wet earth, a hint of baking spice towards the finish.
This is drinking beautifully right now and hinting at something more complex than just a usual sip. All the elements come together, not seamlessly but with really interesting edges. .
A truly lovely & delicious wine.

Wonderful labels at Donnafugata. Had a tasting there about 8 years ago on a tour of Sicily with Peter Scudamore-Smith MW.

100% agree on the labels, they look amazing. I had Giovanni Masucci MW from the winert here a month ago to give us a deep brief on the winery which of course i knew already. With others 2 i
Or 3 big names they put Sicily on the wine map setting a very high standard.
Nowadaysthe region is goi g through another phase, but that's another story.
