FRAPPATO DOC 2018 ORGANIC RED WINE - "SOLE E TERRA" SICILIA DOC

ORGANIC WINE

Frappato is an ancient vine grown mainly in the province of Ragusa, where it expresses its full potential.

The hints of red berries, which are also perceived on the palate, are the characteristics of this wine that make it pleasant to combine with both meat and fish.

This pure Frappato comes from a sandy soil full of colors typical of the Ragusa area. It is a wine full of aromas that remind the nose of a hint of spices, small red fruits and black pepper. The taste is slightly tannic and spicy with a revival of blueberries, wild strawberries and blackberries.
