A characterful red wine from Sicily with intense fruit, fine spice, and velvety elegance.

Cerasuolo di Vittoria Classico DOCG 2023 is Sicily's only red wine with DOCG status, combining the power of Nero d'Avola with the freshness and aromatics of Frappato. Maturation in wooden barrels lends the wine additional depth, structure, and complexity.

The nose reveals intense aromas of wild berries, ripe cherries, and dark fruits, accompanied by notes of liquorice and Mediterranean spices. On the palate, the wine is harmonious and velvety with soft tannins, balanced acidity, and a long, elegant finish. The combination of fruit, spice, and structure makes it an excellent representative of Sicilian wine culture.

Pairs excellently with:

- grilled meat
- pasta with rich sauces
- Mediterranean meat dishes
- lamb
- aged cheese
