More like a spiced herbal tea than wine in the glass, the 2020 Il Frappato wafts up with a smoky mix of dusty rose, sage, allspice and crushed ashen stone. This is pure and delicate in feel, with a salty flourish up front that gives way to citrus-tinged wild berries and red plums. It leaves the palate completely refreshed, tapering off with a staining of liquid inner florals and licorice nuances. While I donβt see the 2020 making old bones, it would benefit from a short stay in the cellar to help unlock more of its aromatic profile. Itβs an understated beauty.

Always a joy to drink for youthful vibrant fruit, floral tones and acidity although this will hold a long time

Funky but light and silky. Very light tannins, good fruit but super mellow. At Cocina Abierta in San Juan PR. 03/08/23
