2021 COS Cerasuolo Di Vittoria
93 Points - Wine Enthusiast: The nose is umami, fresh and saline, with aromas of terracotta, fennel, stones polished in saltwater and wild cherries. On the palate, strawberries join more sweet wild cherries, but that salinity endures and keeps the wine feeling energetic and textured-anchored to the sea and the earth simultaneously.
92 Points - Vinous: The 2021 Cerasuolo di Vittoria entices with a dusty bouquet of citrus-laced blackberries, dried violets and sweet smoke. This is pure and lifted in style, communicating undeniable elegance with a silken wave of ripe wild berry fruit that swirls throughout. It finishes classically dry yet only gently tannic, leaving hints of black raspberry and spice to linger. The 2021 is simply stunning today and has the balance to evolve beautifully through medium-term cellaring.
