Wines of Sicily

Donnafugata - Cerasuolo Floramundi

PRODUCTION AREA
Southeastern Sicily, in the estate of 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 meters above sea level, with soils
tending toward sandy, interspersed with a
substrate 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
Spurred cordon training with spur-pruned
vines.
HARVEST
Harvest began in the youngest vineyards
in the first ten days of September and
ended in the last week of the month.
VINIFICATION AND AGING
Fermentation takes place in stainless steel
with skin maceration at controlled
temperature. After malolactic fermentation,
aging follows for about 9 months in tank
and then in bottle for at least 15 months.
TASTING NOTES
With an intense ruby color 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 balance that Cerasuolo di
Vittoria can achieve (28/8/2025).
LONGEVITY
Best enjoyed over 3-4 years.
SIGNATURE LABELS
Floramundi is a fantastical female figure
who brings as a gift wonderful intertwining
of flowers and fruits in velvety tones. It is a
dialogue between two souls, the elegant
and sophisticated one of Floral Liberty, of
which Vittoria is rich in evidence, and the
charming and evocative one of the Sicilian
Pupi tradition. A dialogue between Nero
d’Avola and Frappato to be enjoyed with
pleasure.
A refined signature label for a prestigious
denomination: Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG.
AT THE TABLE
Pairs well with flavorful first courses and
grilled meats; try it with meat-filled ravioli
and pork fillet, with sliced bluefin tuna,
amberjack, or important baked fish. Serve
in large glasses, slightly chilled at 15-16° C.
