Cerasuolo di Vittoria
Giambattista Valli
Feudi del Pisciotto
Cerasuolo di Vittoria is the first and only Sicilian DOCG wine. A wine with a great personality obtained through the vinification of the Frappato and Nero d’Avola grape varieties. It has been included in the "Tre Bicchieri 2020" list by Gambero Rosso. A wine with a very intense and persistent scent reminiscent of ripe pomegranate, a deep cherry red colour, it is warm and full-bodied in the mouth. Drawn by Giambattista Valli, the label recalls the elegance and the finesse of this wine that best expresses the character of the Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG.
