Cherrysuolo di Vittoria

Planeta Cerasuolo di Vittoria 2009 - Sicily
18€; 13% abv; 60% Nero d'Avola, 40% Frappato. A pretty nice Cerasuolo though it isn't on the level of COS or A. Occhipinti. I haven't had many Cerasuolos but I think I like them: the Frappato really seems to bring about a brightness and red toned freshness to the heavy, thick Nero fruit. And it also seems to bring a healthy dose of acidity that Nero almost always seems to need in my experience. Refreshing and crisp but ripe and sweet, never heavy. Nice! Yet I still have a feeling that this would suffer in comparison to COS or A. Occhipinti.
