Donnafugata
Bell'Assai Vittoria Frappato Nero d'Avola
Vittoria, Sicily, Italy
The 2022 Frappato Vittoria Bell'Assai wafts up with purity, displaying an array of violets, lavender, crushed blackberries and a complicating whiff of dusty earth. Round and juicy in style, it possesses cooling acidity and crisp wild berry fruits that cascade throughout. The 2022 finishes wickedly fresh and with medium length, leaving a pleasantly crunchy, mouthwatering sensation behind on the close. The Bell'Assai would make an excellent pairing for a wide variety of cuisine. (Eric Guido, Vinous, June 2024)

Strawberries and violets. Fantastic with lasagna. Like maybe one of the best options for it.

Pale to mid crimson in colour. Fragrant Fresh and Frivolous with lovely Florals! Serve chilled. From a cool ferment. Light bodied- basically like cherry juice. Drink now. Also, like all Donnafugata Wines it has a beautiful label. 100% Frappato. 12.5% Alcohol.

Cherry with a hint of blueberries in the nose. Lighter red color, medium tannins with well balanced acidity. Very enjoyable.

This is a light bodied wine, floral and red fruits aroma, nice balance on the palate with medium yet tight tannin.

Super fun. Floral on nose and taste. Almost like elderflower sweetness. All from the grape variety. So cool
