Cerasuolo Di Vittoria on SnoothJuly 2011
A bit stinky on the nose with an almost reductive funk to the earthy, clay aromas. Some sweetness of fruit and noticeable power in the mouth, but this lacks some harmony. The black fruit shows some nice minerality, but the tannins stick out on the mid-palate and obscure the finish. Impactful, but clumsy at the same time. 86pts Read More

Rather wild aromatics full of tobacco with a distinct autumnal undercurrent that lends a woodsy tone to the licorice and smoke-accented aromas. Round and generous in the mouth with mineral-accented raspberry fruit that remains tense with mouthwatering acids and mostly resolved tannins that turn savory on the moderately long finish. Drink up. 91pts Read More

Herbal and lightly vegetal on the nose with a touch of sweet pipe tobacco and briar adding complexity to the core of jammy raspberry fruit. Lean on the palate with front-loaded black fruit thats supported by tannins that remain firm. This is still alive but very lean, leaving tannins uncovered on the short, slightly hot, finish. 84pts Read More

A nice, fairly complex nose with notes of spice cake, soil, and smoke over a rather beefy, slightly roasted bed of fruit, decidedly not fruit-driven. Fresh and round in the mouth with a nice note of strawberry tops highlighting the succulent acidity that drives this wine. A touch of forest floor creeps in on the mid-palate and adds to the green ... Read More

Strawberry and strawberry leaf on the nose with a slightly creamy edge and subtle undertones of fur, mineral and a slightly green berry tone. Silky in the mouth with fine balance to the tight mid-palate with dark mineral and fruit notes. Theres a little smoke and anise adding complexity with front-loaded fruit that emerges with time. This needs ... Read More

Here's a pretty interesting Italian red I throughly enjoyed recently and wrote ... and fashions an interesting Cerasuolo di Vittoria Classico—a dry red table wine that shows a surprising amount of elegance and finesse. Called Manene (after his young son, Emanuele), fragrant aromas of wild strawberries and dried currant leap from the glass, whi... Read More

A great wine quite complex. initially pepper on the palate, later dark cherry, very well rounded tanins.Opens up more after 30 minutes. Ready to drink but it will improve for a few more years maybe more. Read More
