Frappato

Uncertain origins, it is described by Sestini (1760) in his memoirs on the wines of Vittoria, a place where it is still cultivated today. Present mainly in the province of Ragusa and Syracuse, Frappato is a medium vigorous plant with large leaves and medium to large bunches, berries with a pruinose, thick and leathery skin, blue-violet in color. The grapes vinified in purity give an excellent wine of a light ruby red color, high winey notes, fruity and floral, medium-bodied, balanced tannins, fresh and soft taste, very harmonious.
