The name comes from cerasa — cherry — and one sip tells you why. It blends 60% Nero d'Avola for structure with 40% Frappato for lift and perfume.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Planeta family have been farming in Sicily for generations and now work across five estates on the island; Vittoria is where they make their most drinkable, sun-filled reds. Nero d'Avola brings the body and the plummy depth; Frappato throws in freshness, floral notes and a bright natural acidity that stops the wine feeling heavy despite the Sicilian sunshine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe nose is properly aromatic — dried strawberry and cherry, a cola-like sweetness, balsamic and dried herbs, even a flicker of exotic spice. The palate carries wild cherry, plum and red berries over a dusty, earthy note, with medium-plus acidity and fine, sandy tannins driving a long, vibrant finish. It is medium-bodied and immensely gulpable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt £17.99 this is a joy — a distinctive, food-loving Sicilian red that punches above its price and works chilled in summer. Drink it over the next two to three years while the fruit is singing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Serve\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe at 14–16°C — a touch cooler than a full red, which flatters the Frappato lift. No need to decant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere to Drink It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDandy on Maltby Street for its natural leanings. Planque in Haggerston. Brat in Shoreditch, where the smoky grill meets that hint of char in the wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFood Pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrilled tuna or swordfish, Sicilian-style — the acidity handles the oil beautifully. Or a spicy sausage and fennel pizza.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"House of Decant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56925276733764,"sku":"HO33903B24","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0858\/2551\/9940\/files\/CerasuolodiVittoria_Planeta202475cl.png?v=1784199228","url":"https:\/\/checkout.houseofdecant.com\/products\/cerasuolo-di-vittoria-planeta-2024-75cl","provider":"House of Decant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
