Judeka Cerasuolo di Vittoria 2012
Sicily, ItalyThe sole DOGC in Sicily, Cerasuolo di Vittoria is quite distinctive, generally equal parts nero d'avola/frappato and markedly cherry dominant (cerasuolo translates as cherry-like) in aroma and flavour. This is an excellent, elegant example - crimson cherry, pomegranate, plum, dried herb, twine, wild raspberry and raspberry leaf notes, with bright, juicy cranberry, wild strawberry, subtle tannins, sea salt and a powdery fine spice that extends through the finish. "Italian Beaujolais"? Si! Pour with cranberry wild rice salads or roast turkey.Tasted: 10 March 2015Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $30.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
