Santa Tresa, Cerasuolo di Vittoria, 2018

This organic red from Sicily is cracking value for money. A blend of Nero d'Avola (15% is dried on the vine to intensify its flavour) and Frappato, it's full of silky black cherry fruit, with ripe, rounded tannins but also good freshness. Notes of chamois leather, spice and black pepper add interest; while the nose is packed with lush black cherry and raspberry, violets and a sprinkle of pepper. Plenty of easydrinking pleasure and great with pasta.
