Description
Description
Cherry red in colour with purple reflections, Akrille Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG presents fruity notes of blueberry, morello cherry and blackberry. The flavour is full, soft and enveloping, with hints of red fruit and a long finish.
The grapes, well ripe and selected in the vineyard, are harvested mid-late September. The Frappato and Nero D'Avola undergo a red vinification with a maceration on the skins for about 15-20 days in steel tanks at a controlled temperature between 22 and 27 degrees celsius. This is followed by maturation in steel for about 8 months, after which the wine is bottled and left to refine in the bottle for about four months.
Pair with red meats, game and mature cheeses. We recommend serving at a temperature between 18 and 20 degrees celsius.

The Cutrera family (from whom we also source exceptional extra virgin olive oils) and Bastianich family, with a history of friendship and collaboration spanning more than 30 years, come together to produce Akrille - a superb selection of sicilian wines.
Their vineyards, which are organically farmed, are located in the Iblei Mountains, alongside centuries-old olive trees. Their history in this area dates back to the late 19th century when the Cutrera family owned one of the most important wine-presses in the area. Akrille cultivate vineyards at an altitude of 500-600 metres where a wild and stony volcanic terrain, that had not been previously cultivated, provides a unique climate gives Akrille's wines freshness, flavour and an imimitable identity.
