2022 Planeta Cerasuolo Dorilli

James Suckling

In stock

An elegant premium wine from the southern coast of Sicily, near Vittoria. This Dorilli label is a higher "Classico" version of the Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG, sourced from the best vineyards in a limited subzone with extra aging before release (12 months in classy large oak). The style's brightness and smoked cherry-spice are deepened here with more Nero D'Avola and nicely ripe and grainy tannins. This will shine after a good decant or a spell in the cellar.

$44.99 in mixed 6+ or $49.99 per bottle

Its Origins

"Diego Planeta, along with Giacomo Rallo of Donnfugata and Lucio Tasca d’Almerita, is one of the three founding fathers of the “Sicilian wine renaissance” sparked 10 to 15 years ago. Cousins Francesca, Santi and Alessio Planeta hold the reigns to the estate today and have developed one of the most innovative and modern wine entities in Italy (they are among the most “liked” wineries on Facebook). The Planeta family boasts a gifted hand in marketing and their hard work has only helped to develop the “Sicily” brand within the many foreign markets they penetrate." Parker's Wine Advocate, Monica Larner

What The Critics Say

92/100 James Suckling

"Here is a delicious, balanced and focused cerasuolo with aromas of dark cherries, blueberries, dried herbs and mild spices following through to a medium body with fine tannins. Refined, with brightness at the center and a refreshing, pulpy finish. From organically grown grapes. Vegan. Sustainable. Drink now."
