EORE
CERASUOLO DI VITTORIA DOCG wine
Sicily DOCG
It is an elegant and harmonious wine, with a very intense cherry red color. The nose reveals notes of raspberries and very delicate floral nuances. The taste is complex, savoury, warm but at the same time fresh and lively, with a good consistency and fine and chalky tannins. It combines the fragrance of the frappato with the warmer and spicier sensation, tending towards tobacco, of the Nero d'Avola.

Eore were the celebrations in honor of Dionysus, the god who takes, who conquers all modesty. He who gave the intoxication and taught the measure, the sense of limit, to get drunk without exceeding. What the myth tells is indicated, with a lightning image, the rite of the swing, up and down, in a sweet abandon.
Like the heartbeat, the rise and fall of the tides, the seasonal growth of plants, the lunar cycles. Breath comes and goes, life and rhythm, a sacred swing of affections and visions, of trials and encounters. It is no coincidence, therefore, that this Cerasuolo di Vittoria is expressed through a separate processing of Nero d'Avola and Frappato.
Only in this way will the two grape varieties be able to express their full potential and unite in marriage.
