Type: Red WineGrape(s): FrappatoWine Region: Sicily, ItalyTasting Notes: Cortese Frappato genuinely has its own unique style, as the Frappato grapes come from ancient clones develo ped on their own estate. It has a very beautiful light cherry colour, with a fresh and vibrant bouquet, reminiscent of wild strawberries and a beautifully balanced palate, with silky smooth fruit, a real freshness running through it and a surprisingly long finish. Suggested food and wine pairing: With it's extraordinarily fruity nature, Frappato is the wine that in Vittoria is traditionally drunk with fish. Among the ideal pairings there are traditional Ragusa dishes, such as tuna, swordfish, blue fish, cured meats and cheeses. Show more
