Varietal

Frappato

Frappato is a red grape variety native to Sicily, particularly associated with the southeastern region around the town of Vittoria. It produces wines that are light-bodied, aromatic, and known for their bright acidity. Frappato wines typically exhibit flavors of red berries such as raspberry and strawberry, along with floral notes of violet and a hint of spice. They are characterized by their soft tannins and refreshing, juicy character, making them ideal for early consumption. What makes Frappato unique is its role in Sicilian winemaking, where it is often blended with Nero d'Avola to create Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG wines, the only DOCG in Sicily. Frappato's fruity and floral profile adds elegance and freshness to the blend, showcasing the grape's ability to reflect Sicily's sunny climate and limestone-rich soils. Frappato wines pair well with Mediterranean cuisine, grilled vegetables, and lighter pasta dishes, offering a taste of Sicilian terroir and tradition.

Country

Italy

There are few countries in the world with a viticultural history as long or as illustrious as that claimed by Italy. Grapes were first being grown and cultivated on Italian soil several thousand years ago by the Greeks and the Pheonicians, who named Italy 'Oenotria' – the land of wines – so impressed were they with the climate and the suitability of the soil for wine production. Of course, it was the rise of the Roman Empire which had the most lasting influence on wine production in Italy, and their influence can still be felt today, as much of the riches of the empire came about through their enthusiasm for producing wines and exporting it to neighbouring countries. Since those times, a vast amount of Italian land has remained primarily for vine cultivation, and thousands of wineries can be found throughout the entire length and breadth of this beautiful country, drenched in Mediterranean sunshine and benefiting from the excellent fertile soils found there. Italy remains very much a 'land of wines', and one could not imagine this country, its landscape and culture, without it.

Region

Sicily

The beautiful island of Sicily has been growing grapevines and producing wines for thousands of years, ever since the ancient Greeks first landed on its golden shores and noticed the island's true potential as a haven for quality grapes. Today, the island is one of Italy's primary wine regions, and even though over eighty percent of Sicily's grapevines are used for the production of sweet fortified wines, the remaining wineries making other wine styles are renowned around the world for their quality and character. Indeed, Sicilian wineries are famed for their ability to capture something of the sun-drenched region in their wines, and the vines they cultivate benefit enormously from the almost constant sunshine and the incredibly fertile volcanic soils which typify the island.
