COS Cerasuolo di Vittoria Classico, iron, earth and cedar

This sicilian wine buzzes with vitality. The Nero d'Avola component provides beautifully bitter black fruit offering the same appetising refreshment as a well-mixed Negroni, with an overall lightness of touch thanks to the frippery of Frappato, a variety akin to Gamay that gives the wine levity. - Richard Hemming
