Floramundi Cerasuolo di Vittoria

70% nero d'Avola 30% frappato
Complexity and elegance
Quite a dark fruit
Leather
Sweet spices
Good effort

This wine is medium tinted in a violet hue. It sports a nose of raspberry, but the fruit is just about covered up by a savory blanket. There is a strong earthy element to the aroma package, and even a bit of barnyard funk. The palate is quite dark - black raspberry, blackberry, bramble - with an extremely savory aspect. It is a very tasty wine, the acidity is dead-on perfect, and the tannins are firm, so it will pair well with your meaty dishes or pizza.

Possibly a little rustic. Red berries, moss, lavander.

Earth and cherries. Not bad.

As expected from previous Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCGs this has the cherry earthy notes with savoury tannins - a hint of black pepper. This has a 70/30 blend of Nero d’Avola and Frappato. Can be as low as 50/50 and still satisfy DOCG requirements. Cerasa is Cherry in Sicilian.

Light and floral, nice acidity and thin tannin, medium long finish.

Fragrant & floral with dusty cherries, crushed brick dust & clay, a pinch of spice, a whiff of wet moss.
Quite light on the palate yet with presence - juicy, with fine dusty tannins and a savoury, earthy character.
Pure & highly drinkable, only a slightly bitter, medicinal note towards the finish spoils the joy a bit.

ベリー系の香り少々、軽い酸味があるが口当たり丸く甘みあり、タンニンは軽く飲みやすい
