Vintage: 2024 Region: Vittoria, Sicily Grapes: Frappato, Nero d'avola, Merlot, and a touch of Albanello ABV: 11% Agriculture: 2024 in Vittoria was characterized by drought, the opposite of the wet 2023. Budding started early and the vines pushed all their efforts into their small yields and the fruit ripened quickly. All grapes in this cuvée were picked at different points with Lifasi in mind. Vinification: Each variety had its desired time to macerate, stems and all. The blend was made early on in the season, allowing it to become itself fluently. 3,000 bottles produced. Notes: The 2024 is lighter than 2023, and packed with energy. The Frappato adds a nose of violet flowers. Punchy cherry fruit, with salinity and bright acidity. Vibrant. Lots of layers with excellent tannic structure. Hint of spice and smokiness. Can pair with food. Volume: 75cl
