The 2021 Cerasuolo di Vittoria is perfumed with sweet florals and sugar-dusted blackberries wafting up from the glass. It's soft and round, showing crisp red and blue fruits underscored by saline minerals. Fine tannins frame the finale, contrasted by a tart tinge of zesty citrus and residual acids that maintain a lovely inner freshness. Very nice. (Eric Guido, Vinous, September 2023)

Oh man. Fresh, acid, ripe red plums and oranges. Tannins a touch furry, but overall it's just a lovely combination of aromatics, Southern sweetness and bright acidity

Cranberry, cherry, plum, cloves, all spice, figs, and fresh turned earth. Beautiful balance and poise and yet again a joy to drink.

A lovely blend of Frappato and Nero d'Avola. Deep, juicy, red, plumy fruit up front that should appeal to any palate, but great spice and minerality in the mid to rear palate with just a hint of Sicilian earth in the mix. Precise, focused and complete. A joy to drink, complex and interesting. Another great import from Jan D'Amore.
