Poggio di Bortolone
Vittoria Frappato
Vittoria, Sicily, Italy
Quite lovely for the style. I’m usually not a fan of frappato, too much overt strawberries without structure, but this one surprised me. Much more restrained on the nose, less ripeness and lots of small red berries, plus some fresh capers and garrigue. Very balanced on the palate, low alcohol, good acid, some minerality and a touch of tannins. Both crushable and interesting

Lilacs, violets, and all things purple. Fresh and light, this wine delivers all that is lovely with Frappato.

Beautiful, raspberry rolled in fresh tarragon, black pepper, hints of smoked meat.

We tried this at red and it has a food blueberry finish. Possibly serve chilled for summer. $22
