Nicosia, Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG (Sicily, Italy) 2020

May 15, 2024

By Vince Simmon

 Cerasuolo di Vittoria is Sicily’s only DOCG and produces high quality wines known for their bright red cherry notes.  Nicosia sources their Sabbie di Sutta fruit from estate 100 meter-elevation vineyards on Mount Etna’s southeast slope.  The wine shows classical red cherry and cranberry notes with a touch of minerality and eucalyptus on the palate.  Maria Carella, Nicosia’s winemaker, supports the winery’s certified sustainable vision and helps the team find solutions that continue to enable high-quality DOCG wine.
