Frappato
Frappato is a light-bodied red grape variety native to Sicily, particularly prominent in the southeastern province of Ragusa. On its own, Frappato produces fragrant, fresh wines with low tannins and bright acidity, making it a favorite among lovers of chillable reds and elegant, easy-drinking styles. Its resilience to heat and ability to maintain freshness make it well-suited to the Mediterranean climate.
Flavor
Frappato wines are aromatic and expressive, with notes of red cherry, strawberry, pomegranate, rose petals, and light spice. The palate is juicy and vibrant, with silky tannins and a refreshing finish that accentuates the fruit purity.
Food Pairing
Frappato pairs well with grilled vegetables, tuna, charcuterie, Margherita pizza, and Mediterranean tapas. Its bright acidity and delicate profile also complement pasta with tomato-based sauces and herb-infused dishes.
