2022 Giovanni Gurrieri Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG

From: Chiaramonte Gulfi, Sicily, ItalyVarietal: Nero d’Avola, Frappato Tasting Notes: The Cerasuolo di Vittoria presents a medium ruby red color. Its elegant aromas reveal ripe fruits such as marasca cherry and Morello cherry, complemented by aromatic herbs including sage and eucalyptus, and a touch of spices. The palate is fresh and medium-bodied, with well-balanced medium tannins and a long, satisfying finish. Pairing: It pairs beautifully with rich, flavorful meats such as grilled lamb chops seasoned with rosemary and garlic or a classic Sicilian meatball dish with a tomato and basil sauce. The wine's balanced tannins and fresh finish complement pasta dishes like tagliatelle with wild boar ragu or a hearty lasagna. For a lighter option, consider pairing it with roasted eggplant, peppers, and zucchini drizzled with olive oil and herbs, or a savory mushroom risotto.
