Feudi del Pisciotto

Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG

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. Label drawn by Giambattista Valli.

Tasting Notes

Deep red cherry in color with a very intense and persistent aroma reminiscent of ripe pomegranate. In the mouth, the wine is warm and full bodied.

Food Pairing

This wine pairs very well with roasted white and red meat, braised beef, and sharp aged cheeses.
