Info about the wine

The Frappato di Vittoria stands at 280 meters above sea level in the offshore hills of the Sicilian Monti Iblei on red sand, chalk and a chalky subsoil. The Frappato is raised partly in Guyot and partly in Albarello and is on average 40 years old. The grapes are harvested by hand in the first week of October. In the cellar, the Frappato is spontaneously fermented and left to ferment on the skins for over a month, then aged for 14 months in large 25-hectolitre Slavonian oak barrels and later bottled unfiltered.

Color

Purple red with garnet lightening towards the rim.

Nose

The 2020 Il Frappato shows red fruit of sour cherries, red currants, wild raspberry, beetroot and a hint of orange peel. The floral fragrance of roses and violets further underlines its feminine and dancing impression.

Palate

On the tongue it seems light on its feet, the fruit is in the foreground, the acidity ripe and at the same time present, its tannin mega fine and polished. Every sip of this red-berried and refreshing drop inspires another - salty, mineral notes and the low alcohol of 12.5 vol% inspire it. It is best enjoyed slightly chilled with tasty, spicy and fruity cuisine.
