Planeta Cerasuolo di Vittoria 2013
Sicily, ItalyThe only DOCG in Sicily, this takes its name from “Cerasa”, cherry in Sicilian dialect. This is a 60/40 blend of indigenous varieties Nero d’Avola and Frappato, and from the countryside of Dorilli, between the sea and the Iblean mountains. Fourteen days on the skins, this spent its life in stainless before being bottled. Medium bodied with salted raspberry, plum cherry bodied, wild tobacco, geraniums, anise, olive, sea salt and squid ink, the complexities of this wine reveal over the course of the evening. The finish is lingering and haunting; drinking beautifully now, with or without food (but stunning with fennel, sardines and orange or a funghi pizza).Tasted: 04 October 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $26.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
