Made at the Dorilli estate, it reflects the region’s only DOCG wine tradition, with bright cherry-like fruit and a gently spiced finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClear ruby in colour, the wine opens with blackcurrant, strawberry and raspberry, lifted by hints of pink grapefruit and aromatic herbs. On the palate it is soft and balanced, with fine, mature tannins and flavours of sour cherry, carob and black pepper, followed by a rounded, spicy finish with a subtle mulberry note.\n\nIts fresh fruit makes it appealing in its youth; maturation in oak adds structure for further development. The provided information does not specify a drinking window, so enjoy it over the next few years for its vivid fruit character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe organically farmed Dorilli vineyards lie near the Dirillo River in Acate, where deep, loose red sandy soils and a tufa-rich subsoil help maintain water balance for the vines. The Nero d’Avola and Frappato are harvested in September, then destemmed and crushed. Fermentation includes 12–21 days of temperature-controlled skin maceration, followed by malolactic fermentation in stainless steel. After gentle pressing, the wine matures for up to 12 months in oak, while some remains in stainless steel to preserve aromatic clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTry it with grilled or roasted lamb, pork, aubergine dishes, tomato-based pasta or aged pecorino. Serve slightly cool, around 16–18°C. A brief airing in the glass should be sufficient; decant for about 20–30 minutes if the wine seems closed on opening.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlaneta is a leading Sicilian wine producer, with Alessio Planeta at its helm and vineyards across the island’s varied growing areas. The estate’s work at Dorilli in Acate has helped showcase the Nero d’Avola and Frappato blend that defines Cerasuolo di Vittoria Classico. The appellation holds a special place in Sicilian wine as the island’s only DOCG; the name Cerasuolo refers to “cerasa,” the local word for cherry.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Planeta","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55765446230353,"sku":"XW-63294","price":18.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/planeta-cerasuolo-di-vittoria-classico-dorilli-2024","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
