From Planeta in Italy’s Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG, the Cerasuolo di Vittoria 2022 is a refined blend of 70% Nero d’Avola and 30% Frappato sourced from the Dorilli estate vineyards on loose red sands with moderately deep structure and a tufa layer at 90 cm for water balance, in the countryside around Dorilli between the sea and Iblean mountains. Hand-harvested grapes from the balanced 2022 vintage—cultivated organically and per SOStain® protocol with ground cover of beans, vetch, and wild flowers for soil health, and minimal sulfur/copper for plant protection—undergo fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, followed by aging in oak to enhance integration. This production yields a bright, medium ruby wine with vivid color and approachable harmony.
Tasting Notes A vibrant Sicilian red with cherry blossom, raspberry, and blood orange aromas, along with savory pencil shavings and black tea, macerating into cherries and raspberries with a sanguine chalky bitterness and salted chocolate finish. The nose features aromas of cherry blossom, raspberry and blood orange, along with savory notes of pencil shavings and black tea. On the palate, cherries and raspberries macerate, but that sanguine, almost chalky bitterness of tea leaves persists before a salted chocolate finish.
Awards and Accolades The 2022 Cerasuolo di Vittoria earned 91 points from Vinous for its cherry blossom, raspberry, and blood orange with savory pencil shavings and black tea, macerating into cherries and raspberries with sanguine chalky bitterness and salted chocolate finish.
Serving and Cellaring Serve at 16-18°C with 30 minutes of decanting to enhance aromas. Ideal with Mediterranean first courses, light meat dishes, vegetables, or oily fish. Enjoy now through 2030, developing subtle earthy nuances over time.
