The grapes, well ripe and selected in the vineyard, are harvested in the last ten days of August and taken to temperature-controlled steel fermentation tanks. After a short carbonic maceration and alcoholic fermentation at a controlled temperature between 15 and 18 degrees, it is matured for about 5 months in steel. The wine is put on the market after a refinement in the bottle for about 2 months.

Bright cherry red color. Our Frappato presents floral notes on the nose, slightly withered flowers, aromas of spices and small red fruits, such as blueberries, wild strawberries and blackberries. On the palate the tannin is fine and spicy and fragrant elements emerge, with a hint of red fruits.
MATCHING
Ideal with cured meats, fatty or raw fish dishes and fresh cheeses. A serving temperature of 14 to 16 degrees is recommended.
Maturation
The Frappato grapes, harvested at the end of the second ten days of August and collected in crates, are subjected to subsequent white vinification, only with destemming and soft pressing.
After preparing the base wine, a natural refermentation takes place in an autoclave at 10°-12°C (50°-54°F) for approximately 12-20 days. Once the residual sugar content and the desired pressure are reached, the temperature is suddenly lowered to halt fermentation. After maturing on the lees for approximately 2-3 months, the wine is filtered and bottled.
Tasting notes
With a pale pink color, our Frappato Rosè Brut is a light and irresistible wine.
On the nose it presents floral and aromatic notes, with hints of wild strawberries, cherries and raspberries, balanced by aromas of flowers, Mediterranean herbs and light spices.
On the palate, our Frappato is fresh and elegant, with a pleasant acidity that invites you to take another sip, where spicy and fragrant elements emerge, with a hint of red fruits.
Pairing
A perfect wine for an aperitif and to pair with fish-based appetizers, excellent with shellfish and a typical Ragusa cured meat.
We recommend serving it at a temperature between 6 and 8 degrees.
