Akrille, Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG

Cerasuolo di Vittoria is Sicily's only DOCG, from the southeast of the island. This blend of Nero d'Avola and Frappato combines power with freshness. The grapes are harvested and selected by hand at the end of September.

What you smell
Red and dark fruit: cherry, blueberry, and blackberry. Direct and recognizable, without frills.

What you taste
Full and soft on the palate, with juicy red fruit. The tannins are fine and do not dry out your mouth, making the wine smooth and approachable. The finish lingers long.

How it's made
Nero d'Avola and Frappato ferment separately, with 15 to 20 days of skin contact in stainless steel tanks at 22 to 27 degrees Celsius. After that, the wine matures for about 8 months in steel and rests for another 4 months after bottling. No wood, so pure fruit and freshness.

Serving
Serve at 18 to 20 degrees Celsius. Decanting is not necessary. A medium-sized red wine glass is sufficient.

Pairs well with

  • Grilled red meat: the fine tannins cut through the fat, the juicy fruit keeps it light.
  • BBQ meat
  • Aged cheese (Ragusano DOP): the freshness of the wine balances the salty and spicy notes of the cheese.

Akrille ontstond op een avond in New York, waar de Siciliaanse familie Cutrera en chef-kok en restaurateur Joe Bastianich besloten samen een wijnhuis te beginnen. Het staat op de plek van de oude druivenpers van de Cutrera's, in het hart van de enige DOCG van Sicilië.

Sicilië is het grootste wijngebied van Italië en lange tijd vooral bekend om bulkwijn. Dat beeld klopt niet meer. In het westen, met Nero d'Avola als belangrijkste druif, en op de vulkanische grond van de Etna maken steeds meer makers wijn met een eigen gezicht.
