The 2011 Cerasuolo di Vittoria Classico Dorilli sees some contact with oak and is a blend of 70% Nero d’Avola and 30% Frappato. A buoyant hint of raspberry and dark cherry is followed scorched earth or burnt toast. Those toasted notes feel unhinged from the relatively bright and simple quality of fruit at the base of this wine. Its consistency is streamlined and fresh with slightly green or herbal finishing notes. Drink 2014-2017. Diego Planeta, along with Giacomo Rallo of Donnfugata and Lucio Tasca d’Almerita, is one of the three founding fathers of the “Sicilian wine renaissance” sparked 10 to 15 years ago. Cousins Francesca, Santi and Alessio Planeta hold the reigns to the estate today and have developed one of the most innovative and modern wine entities in Italy (they are among the most “liked” wineries on Facebook). The Planeta family boasts a gifted hand in marketing and their hard work has only helped to develop the “Sicily” brand within the many foreign markets they penetrate. Enormous credit goes to them. Although Planeta’s wines are always impressive, I was less enthused by this set of new releases. The entry-level products represent excellent value, but the top tier wines (including a wine I love very much, Santa Cecilia) are not at their peak performance. Importer: Palm Bay, www.palmbay.com
