Cerasuolo di Vittoria is the only wine with Controlled and Guaranteed Designation of Origin (DOCG) in Sicily and boasts ancient and noble origins. This wine dates back to 1606, the year that marked the foundation of the city of Vittoria. It owes its quality to the terroir, the Southeastern Sicily's climate and most importantly to the quality of the two grape varieties it is made with.

Also know as "Calabrese d'Avola", Nero d'Avola is Sicily's most widely grown red grape variety. The characteristics of this variety, such as its deep color, rich aromas and excellent structure, produce a classic Italian red wine that is known and respected around the world. Frappato is an age-old variety typical of Southeastern Sicily dates back to the seventeenth century. It has fairly elongated bunches and grapes with an intense red, almost violet colour, and produces wines known for their heady fruity aromas, freshness and mellow palate.
