Wines of Sicily

Donnafugata - Cerasuolo Floramundi

PRODUCTION AREA
South-eastern Sicily, on the estate in the
municipality of Acate and in other areas
particularly suited to viticulture.
GRAPES
Nero d’Avola and Frappato.
SOILS AND CLIMATE
Predominantly soils at an altitude of 120
to 240 metres above sea level, with soils
tending towards sandy, interspersed with
a substratum of limestone tuffs and
medium-textured soils.
The climate is warm temperate, moderated
during the summer by a breeze coming
from the sea, as well as by good
temperature swings between day and
night.
VINEYARD
Espalier training with spur-pruned cordon.
HARVEST
The harvest began in the younger
vineyards in the first ten days of
September and ended in the last week of
the month.
VINIFICATION AND AGEING
Fermentation takes place in stainless steel
with skin maceration at controlled
temperature. Once malolactic fermentation
is complete, ageing follows for around 9
months in tank and then in bottle for at
least 15 months.
TASTING NOTES
With an intense ruby colour and bright
violet highlights, Floramundi 2023 offers
fruity aromas, among which notes of
cherry and plum stand out, accompanied
by fresh floral hints; the bouquet opens
to balsamic and spicy nuances. On the
palate, thanks to its fine, integrated
tannin, it stands out for its softness,
making this wine pleasantly juicy.
Floramundi expresses the harmonious
equilibrium that Cerasuolo di Vittoria can
reach (28/8/2025).
LONGEVITY
Best enjoyed over 3-4 years.
SIGNATURE LABELS
Floramundi is a fantastical female figure
who brings as a gift wonderful interlacing
of flowers and fruits with velvety tones.
It is a dialogue between two souls, the
elegant and sophisticated one of Floral
Liberty, of which Vittoria is rich in
testimonies, and the fascinating and
evocative one of the Sicilian Puppets
tradition. A dialogue between Nero
d’Avola and Frappato to be enjoyed.
A refined signature label for a prestigious
denomination: Cerasuolo di Vittoria
DOCG.
AT THE TABLE
It pairs well with flavourful first courses
and grilled meats; try it with meat-filled
ravioli and pork fillet, with sliced red tuna,
amberjack or substantial baked fish.
Serve in large glasses, slightly chilled at
15-16° C.
