70% Nero d'Avola and 30% Frappato from organic cultivation around the historic Dorilli estate between Vittoria and Acate. The vines are rooted in red sandy soils over limestone and the microclimate is characterised by a maritime climate. After careful manual harvesting and maceration, the wine matures for 12 months in large wooden barrels – a deliberately traditional interpretation of Sicily's only DOCG wine.

Bright ruby red in the glass with a delicate cherry-coloured shimmer. The nose opens with notes of wild strawberries, ripe cherries, violets and a hint of clove. Fine balsamic nuances and a hint of liquorice add depth. Harmonious and supple on the palate, with ripe fruit, elegant structure and fine-grained tannins. The Frappato component provides freshness and floral elegance, while the Nero d'Avola contributes backbone and substance. The finish is long and balanced, supported by a subtle minerality. Dorilli combines historical style with modern finesse – a Cerasuolo with a cultivated appearance that convincingly brings the soul of south-east Sicily into the glass. SUPERIORE.DE

"A restrained wine with aromas of red currants, pomegranates, black pepper, smoke, earth and iodine. Ripe, sweet fruit flavors, chewy acidity and tight tannins in the finish." James Suckling
