Vittoria Frappato
Vittoria, Sicily, Italy
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.

Tasted little young for a 2015. Suggest letting this one breath for awhile before serving

Jan 7th, 2020Very nice. Great balance even w dark/jammy fruit. Not heavy or thick. The right texture for a 13% al wine. Like a balance btw a Pinot and a Syrah.

Strawberry and raspberry marmalade on the nose. Then it feels like Beaujolais premier cru. Nose would sell this wine. More expressive than gamay

Oct 7th, 2017Interesting grape variety. Rememberable! Light bodied at first, more complex at the finish. Almost a spicy, smokey taste.
