In a sea of great quality wines, there is only one DOCG in Sicily. And it is the one of Cerasuolo di Vittoria. Noble among nobles, this Sicilian red wine has a DNA closely linked to its land of origin. It comes, in fact, from a blend of indigenous grapes such as Nero d'Avola and Frappato. In this version proposed by Patrì, Nero d'Avola prevails by a very small margin (55% and 45% respectively). A particularly fortunate blend, where the Nero d'Avola gives body and longevity, while the Frappato gives it elegance and fruit. To amalgamate everything, after racking, part of the wine is left to mature in barriques, while the rest is put into large casks until the moment of blending. The result is a wine with a beautiful clear ruby red colour. On the nose the characteristic notes of red fruit emerge clearly, enriched by subtle and pleasant hints of spices that give it complexity. In the mouth it is warm and structured. Powerful but with docile and sweet tannins. Ample and pleasant, rightly savoury with a long finish.
Rocco, Patrizia and their children Giuseppe, Elisa and Daniela Patrì have a dream. That of enhancing the value of its historical viticultural heritage. For this reason, in 2010 they founded a new company in Butera, in the central-southern part of Sicily. An area particularly suited to the production of wine, an area containing some of the most prestigious Sicilian appellations, starting from Cerasuolo di Vittoria and Etna DOC, as well as DOC Sicilia of course. Lands, and grapes, capable of producing the wines that modern consumers demand, quality reds and whites, elegant, well-structured and Mediterranean but also capable of evoking suggestions linked to the territory of origin. All this is achieved through meticulous care in every aspect of the workmanship. From the countryside, where the company can now count on about 250 hectares, one third of which are planted with Nero d'Avola, Frappato, Syrah, Catarratto, Insolia, Grillo, Chardonnay, Zibibbo and Petit Manseng. All the way to the cellar and then to the bottle, the realm of oenologist Antonio Landolfi, who is entrusted with the supervision of winemaking. To date, the company is constantly going through a phase of full and constant growth. With an annual production of about 100,000 bottles that can grow a lot more, without having to compromise on quality.
