Tasting Notes: The Biscaris Cerasuolo di Vittoria is a blend of Frappato and Nero d'Avola, bright and fresh, this DOCG wine is savory and elegant.
Estate History: Biscaris is an 11-hectare biodynamic estate in the town of Acate, in the classico zone of Sicily’s only DOCG, Cerasuolo di Vittoria. The winery takes its name from Acate’s not-so-distant past: originally called Biscaris, from 1633 to 1812 it was the Principality of Biscari, whose castle appears on the wine labels. Acate was officially called Biscari up until 1938.
Owner Antonia Guardabasso and her daughter-in-law, Veronica Gentoli, manage what is truly a family affair, as most of their workers are also relatives! Biscaris’ first commercial harvest was in 2004, after meeting Nicolas Joly, who encouraged them to both produce their own wine and do it through biodynamics. The wines are healthy, honest, and typical, transporting you right to southeast Sicily, reminding you why the wines of this area are so beloved
