(93+ points) A 50-50 blend of Nero d'Avola and Frappato, the Arianna Occhipinti 2019 Cerasuolo di Vittoria Classico Grotte Alte shows a medium-dark appearance with sweet cherry, crème de cassis and crushed rose. With a little extra time in the glass, it reveals a subtle mineral note and a hint of campfire ash. This wine reflects the limestone soils that are typically found in Vittoria, Sicily. This is a production of 6,501 glass bottles that are on the heavy side. With six years under its belt, this wine tastes younger than its real age. - Monica Larner
