100% Frappato from Vittoria. Very very reductive. Fresh squeezed black and red cherries. Touch of VA. Earth and minerals are pretty obvious. Bright and high acidity. Silky smooth tannin. Slight green on the finish which is very pleasant. Everything is so well integrated and feels natural. Had high expectations on this and it doesn’t disappoint at all.

Holy wow, her wines are totally delicious. Why isn't everyone everywhere doing single varietal frappatto?! Elegant, delicate, interesting, earthy, floral, a bit tarty-fruity... everything... 🌹🍒.........

Tart cherries, earth and a hint of anise on the finish. More balance and verve than previous vintages. Hold for 5+yrs.

Funky aroma to begin. Cleared up with time. Nice balance of fruit and acidity. Paired well with fine Italian cuisine
