Vittoria Frappato

Not much to say about this. Light, and underwhelming.

Light red

Impromptu tasting at my buddy's shop, while I'm picking a recent Burgundy order.

This is delicious, wild aromatics... Why haven't I bought this before!?

Overripe cherry notes contrasted with high acidity. This one pales in comparison to other Frappato's we've tasted recently.

Very floral, some strawberries initially then gives room to Darjeeling tea. Likewise the texture.

Fruit, fruit, and tomato. More to come...

Very effusive nose, but fresh and balanced on the palate.
Good clean cheap thrills.

Violet, slightly perfume, brewed tea leaf, red and black cherry, licorice, raisin, med plus tannin. Great frappato at its price point.

Bright, fragrant fresh cherry, along with sandstoney minerality and floral notes. Pure and transparent in the mouth, with wispy cherry/mineral notes. Youthful, fine-grained tannin and very good acidity. Not concentrated or especially long, but a great accompaniment to a rustic pasta dish with puréed spinach, garlic, olive oil and pancetta.

Granular on the palate. Little depth and no complexity
