DONNAFUGATA - FLORAMUNDI Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG
A refined Cerasuolo di Vittoria with a flowery soul
Floramundi is brilliant cerasa (cherry in Sicilian), it offers an ample and fragrant bouquet with intense notes of red fruit (raspberries, strawberries and redcurrants) and pink flowers, combined with evident spicy scents of black pepper. The palate is fresh, fleshy and round, thanks to the soft tannins and pleasant persistence. A refined red with intriguing aromatic depth.

Artistic label
Floramundi is a fantastic figure of a woman who is giving the gift of wonderful interlacements of flowers and fruits with velvety tones. It is a dialogue between two souls, the elegant and sophisticated one of Floral Liberty, of which Vittoria is rich in testimonies, and the fascinating and suggestive one of the tradition of the Pupi Siciliani (Sicilian Puppets). A dialogue between Nero d’Avola and Frappato to listen to with pleasure. A refined artistic label for a prestigious denomination: Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG.
