Planeta Cerasuolo di Vittoria

This delightful wine is named for its remarkable color as cerasuolo means "cherry red" in Italian. Made from two local grapes, the Frappato (40%) imparts ripe berry flavors and freshness, while the Nero d'Avola (60%) lends a supple tannic structure, richness and intensity. DESCRIPTION: Color: Intense ruby red with pink hues. Aroma: Typical of wines produced in the Vittoria area, fruity, reminiscent of red berries, strawberries, cherries, figs, ginger and fruit drops. Very distinctive, this is the wine that best highlights the characteristics of the terroir. Taste: Supple, vibrant and wonderfully fresh, with a long finish. SERVING SUGGESTIONS: A versatile wine, excellent with first and second courses. Ideal with soups, broiled shellfish, lamb and medium-aged cheeses. Served cool in the summer, it makes a refreshing aperitif.
