Tannins dominate at present but there's a good, balanced wine underneath. Very acceptable funkiness. The next bottle needs 2-4 years. Half bottle.

Too thin, a bit sweeter than I like. Interesting flavors, though.

The 2014 Frappato Vittoria opens up with an irresistible fresh red fruit cocktail quality on the nose, followed by very spicy and floral notes, with juicy red berry and cherry. Finishes long and clean with a bright floral echo. A stellar Frappato that makes it impossible to put the glass down. (ID)

A price friendly Frappato.  Nose of raspberry.  Fresh berry with ample acid.  Very easy to drink.  I am a sucker for a Frappato and think they make a great weekday wine.
