Having been aged in oak for a year and, at the time of this tasting, almost two years in the bottle, the Valle dell'Acate 2018 Cerasuolo di Vittoria Classico is lean and easy to drink, with some acidic sharpness along the way. The blend is 60% Nero d'Avola and 40% Frappato, and it follows faithfully in the house style, especially in terms of its varietal purity and Sicilian authenticity. It's a red that would pair with easy meat dishes like lamb chops on the grill. Production is 70,000 bottles.
