Southeast Sicily around Vittoria (Ragusa), birthplace of Sicily's only DOCG (Cerasuolo di Vittoria), calcareous-clay soils, Mediterranean climate with hot dry summers. Nero d'Avola is the signature red (60–70%) blended exclusively with Frappato (30–40%): luminous cherry-red with intense notes of black cherry, strawberry, ripe plum and a hint of spice, silky tannins and well-integrated acidity — Sicilian elegance at its peak. Frappato alone as a fresh, fruity, floral red.
