Product Notes

Donnafugata Floramundi Cerasuolo di Vittoria is an exceptional Sicilian wine. Hailing from the renowned vineyards of Vittoria, it is a fascinating blend of Frappato and Nero d'Avola grapes, with a luminous ruby red hue. This captivating wine greets the nose with rich scents of red fruits and delicate floral notes, deliciously balanced by a dash of savoury spice. A luxurious velvety mouthfeel reveals a complex palate of ripe cherries, strawberries and hints of cacao, culminating in a persistent finish. This refined elegance makes it ultimately charming and versatile, a superb pairing with Mediterranean dishes.

Tasting Notes

This wine has an intense ruby red colour with brilliant purple hues. On the nose, it has intense fruity aromas of black cherry and berries (blueberry). On the palate, it opens with delicate flowery flavours and characteristic spicy notes of black pepper, the flavours are supported by a refreshing acidity with fine and well-integrated tannins.
