The 2020 Cerasuolo di Vittoria Classico Dorilli (made with 70% Nero d'Avola and 30% Frappato) shows bright cassis and wild cherry with background hints of black olive and scorched earth. That this was a very hot vintage is apparent on the bouquet. The aromas push a bit more in terms of intensity.

A pure and juicy note of raspberry ganache is underscored by hints of toast and candied kumquat in this elegant, medium-bodied red. Lightly chalky tannins provide definition for the creamy flavor range, and spice and smoke notes accent the raspberry fruit as it echoes on the finish. Drink now through 2027. 1,660 cases made, 133 cases imported.??–AN??Region: Italy / South / Sicily / Cerasuolo di Vittoria Classico Select to Add

Although I have already tasted this vintage, I'm happy to come back to it and check on its progress. The Planeta 2017 Cerasuolo di Vittoria Classico Dorilli shows a medium dark ruby color and offers straightforward aromas of cherry, wild berry and plum. This was a hot vintage in Sicily (and elsewhere in Italy), and you feel the extra heat and power as a result, although the alcohol content registers at a modest 13%. The wine closes with characteristic aromas of toasted pistachio and black olive. This is a vintage of 20,000 bottles.

Here's a terrific lean to mid-weight red wine from Sicily. The 2016 Cerasuolo di Vittoria Classico Dorilli is a vibrant and lively blend of 70% Nero d'Avola and 30% Frappato that burst from the glass with immediate appeal. I love the energy you get from this easy-drinking red.

The 2014 Cerasuolo di Vittoria Classico Dorilli is a beautifully balanced and graceful wine that proudly veers to the most elegant and feminine side of the Sicilian winemaking scale. The bouquet is generous and intact with bright aromas of wild strawberry, cassis, forest bramble and blue violet. The results are tonic clean and bursting with good energy and verve. You do get those characteristic flavors of Sicily, like black olive and caper, that show up often in the island wines. The blend is 70% Nero d'Avola and 30% Frappato. Some 16,000 bottles are produced.
