CERASUOLO DI VITTORIA GULFI 2023 DESCRIPTION

The Cerasuolo of Vittoria by Gulfi born from the perfect blend of Nero d'Avola and Frappato. We are in vineyard Stidda, at 420 meters above sea level in the Chiaramonte Gulfi; we are in the eastern part of Sicily, a few miles from the beautiful town of Ragusa, Vittoria and Comiso. Here the sea is near about twenty miles, and the altitude of the vineyard which is located Stidda ensures thermal excursions. Gulfi has a mission as unique as important: the naturalness. And is the naturalness that guide the work of this extraordinary Sicilian winery; is the same naturalness that distinguish their wines made from bio-organic practices and non-invasive winemaking. A technique of producing authentic and that does not include territorial manual watering and the vineyards that leads to having a lower yield of 50 quintals per hectare. The Cerasuolo of Vittoria by Gulfi born after mid-September, when the Nero d'Avola and Frappato are harvested.

The aromas are typical of the union of Nero d'Avola and Frappato , fresh watermelon, strawberries and a pleasant mineral closure that makes it unique in its kind.
