WINE DESCRIPTION

Valle dell'Acate Cerasuolo di Vittoria is a premium red wine produced by the renowned Valle dell'Acate winery in Sicily, Italy. This wine is made from a blend of two indigenous grape varieties, Nero d'Avola and Frappato, grown in the Vittoria region. The vineyards are located in the southeastern part of Sicily, where the soil is rich in limestone and clay, providing ideal growing conditions for these grapes. The winemaking process involves a careful selection of the grapes, followed by traditional fermentation and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is a medium-bodied, elegant and complex red with notes of red fruits, spices, and a hint of minerality. It is a perfect match for grilled meats, pasta dishes, and aged cheeses.
