Caruso & Minini " Frapello", Frappato, Nerello Mascalese, Sicily, Italy

Elegance and minerality are the distinctive features of
Frappello, the legacy of two vines in a unique land: the
Marsala hinterland. The expert hand harvesting of Frap
pato and Nerello Mascalese is carried out among the li
ghts and scents of the rolling hills surrounding the Salemi
area. The winemaking continues in the cellar with macera
tion and fermentation, at 25°C for 15-20 days in steel tan
ks involving the malolactic fermentation as well. The wine
ages partly in 225 liter barriques for 4 months, the rest for
8 months in steel tanks. A fresh and generous red wine,
with spicy notes, suitable for being paired with both meat
and fish dishes
