De-Vino Wine Boutique

Gabrio Tosti at De-Vino Wine Boutique knows his wines. He is also ready to argue about the essence of quality, crazy consumerism and the American bias toward mediocrity among other topics. His focus is mainly Italian wines, though he does carry wines from other parts of the world. Last night we had the pleasure of drinking a 2004 Valle dell'Acate Cerasuolo di Vittoria that I purchased at his store last week. This wine comes from an area southwest of Siracusa in Sicily. It is know for its high quality fruits and wine. The DOC of Vittoria has recently seen an influx of wine producers mining the motherlode of this region. This Cerasuolo is one of the best that I have had to date. The unique timbre of this wine is very appealing and possesses an acidic spark that makes your taste buds sit up. I can also recommend the same winery's Il Moro Nero d'Avola, a dark brooding concentrated quaff. Pay a visit to Gabrio's shop. He is engaging and his wines are well selected.

Thanks Marco, I'm glad you enjoyed the wines from Valle dell'Acata.
The Cerasuolo, starting with the 2006 vintage I believe, is the first and only DOCG of the Island.
Buona Bevuta a Tutti
