Authentic Sicilian Frappato 2023 Sicilia Doc - Duca di Salaparuta

Frappato 2023 Autentici di Sicilia red wine from the Duca di Salaparuta winery

Sicilian red wine made from 100% Frappato grapes, produced in Western Sicily, in the area between Marsala and Palermo, in the province of Trapani, on the Risignolo estate.

Thanks to the land in which it is born, this typical Sicilian red wine takes on an intense red color with some purple reflections.

Upon opening it presents a great olfactory complexity, where floral aromas of rose and violet stand out, which are combined with notes of wild strawberries and blackberries.

On the palate it is fresh and elegant, with a very velvety sip and a pleasant persistence on the finish.
