Manene is a very attractive Cerasuolo di Vittoria (a blend of Nero d’Avola and Frappato) with loads of blueberry and wild berry followed by almond, cola and spice. It tastes light, crisp and tonic and would pair with lightly fried sardines or calamari.——M.L.(5/1/2010)—— 87

Here’s a well-priced Cerasuolo di Vittoria (a blend of Nero d’Avola and Frappato) with pretty luminosity and bursting aromas of spice, blueberry, raspberry and shaved almond. Manene represents a traditional expression of the wine with soft tannins and warm alcohol. ——M.L.(2/1/2009)—— 86
