Valle dell'Acate
Il Frappato di Vittoria
Tannins dominate at present but there's a good, balanced wine underneath. Very acceptable funkiness. The next bottle needs 2-4 years. Half bottle.

Apr 30th, 2017The 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)

Sep 7th, 2016A 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.
