Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a light-to-medium ruby color, reflecting the variety’s graceful, rather than heavy, style. The nose is usually marked by red berries, wild cherries, violets, and subtle herbal notes, with a delicate spicy edge that adds interest. On the palate, expect a juicy, supple wine with bright acidity, soft tannins, and a refreshing, fruit-driven profile. Frappato is known for its immediate appeal, but it can also develop a little more nuance over the next few years, gaining earthier and more savory tones while remaining best enjoyed young and vibrant.

Production
Frappato is one of Sicily’s classic native red grapes, typically associated with warm, sun-drenched vineyards and well-drained soils that help preserve freshness and aromatic lift. For a wine like this, the style is usually built around careful harvest timing to retain acidity and aromatic purity, followed by gentle vinification and temperature-controlled fermentation to emphasize fruit expression and finesse.

Food & Serving
Serve slightly chilled, around 14–16°C, to bring out its freshness and fragrance. It pairs beautifully with Sicilian-inspired dishes, tomato-based pasta, grilled vegetables, charcuterie, roasted poultry, and lightly spiced Mediterranean cuisine. Decanting is generally not necessary; a brief aeration may help if serving soon after opening.

The producer has played an important role in shaping the island’s modern wine identity and is widely respected for combining tradition with quality-focused, contemporary winemaking.
