Cerasuolo is an enlightened blend of Frappato and Nero d’Avola, and the two grapes when blended create a harmonious symphony of flavor and texture. Well-made Cerasuolo has a medium-bodied, sensual, seductive personality, and the Portelli family has mastered this fine example of southern Sicilian charm. Alessandro is the fifth generation of the Portelli family to tend their land, and currently works with his father Salvatore. The estate was founded in 1863 by Basilio Portelli who was succeeded by his son, grandson, great-grandson, and great-great grandson to arrive at present day. The family grew their own grapes, vinified their own wine, and sold it in bottle, long before most others in the area. Their original winery was in use from 1863 to 1959, and their initial export markets were England, Malta, and Germany. The Portellis were among the first growers in the Vittoria area and welcomed many others over the years. The Portellis have mastered the maceration and extraction to get the most out of their grapes—their wines are loaded with charm and luscious fruit while possessing plenty of structure on the backend. They grow two varieties: Frappato and Nero d’Avola, the latter known locally as Calabrese. Calabrese shows much more elegance here in the soils of Vittoria than it does in other areas of Sicily, where it tends to earn its keep as a wine of brawn and power. The Portellis are crafting Calabrese with elegance and refinement, country charm wrapped in suede. Their Frappato, while the most fruit forward wine they make, is no simple quaffer!\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2024-01-12T13:11:41-05:00","created_at":"2024-01-10T20:10:03-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_Italy","NK100124","Other_Wine","Producer_Portelli","Region_Sicily","Source_WineOnlineDelivery0124","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Frappato"],"price":23395,"price_min":23395,"price_max":23395,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":44187798765706,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":null,"requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2017 | Portelli | Frappato Vittoria","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":23395,"weight":5443,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/55_e7fb2ebf-fc99-4ab4-ab65-129f0fa33c9c.jpg?v=1704935457"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/55_e7fb2ebf-fc99-4ab4-ab65-129f0fa33c9c.jpg?v=1704935457","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2017 | Portelli | Frappato Vittoria at CaskCartel.com","id":25874905563274,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.33,"height":1200,"width":396,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/55_e7fb2ebf-fc99-4ab4-ab65-129f0fa33c9c.jpg?v=1704935457"},"aspect_ratio":0.33,"height":1200,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/55_e7fb2ebf-fc99-4ab4-ab65-129f0fa33c9c.jpg?v=1704935457","width":396}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2017 | Portelli | Frappato Vittoria\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe palate is powerful and complex.
