One sip, and you'll want to enjoy more!
Frappato is a grape native to sourtheastern Sicily, locally prized for its raspberry fruit aromas and bright acidity. For the international market, it's usually blended with the dark and brooding Nero D'Avola grape to give it a "lift". As a single varietal, a state-of-the-art winery like Valle D'Acate can make this distinctive and lively light red wine express its locality. On its own, it makes a lighter-bodied but seductively charming wine. Perhaps that's why it's the red wine Sicilians prefer to keep sipping!
