Production

Frappato grapes are grown on sandy soil situated 200m above sea level. Grapes are hand picked in September. The grapes undergo maceration and fermentation for 10-15 days at a controlled temperature of between 22-24°C. The wine is aged in stainless steel vats and 2 months in the bottle.

Tasting notes

Food match

Enjoy with pasta alla Norma - a classic Sicilian pasta dish with aubergine, ricotta, basil and tomatoes.
