Valle dell'Acate Valle dell'Acate Il Frappato 2024 750ml

Juicy flavors of dried raspberry and wild strawberry fruit are laced with an aromatic skein of rooibos tea, blood orange peel, dill, anise and clove notes. A rich and focused red in a light frame, defined nicely by fine, taut tannins and vivid acidity. Drink now through 2031. (Alison Napjus)

The nose is savory and herbaceous, but also features powerful currents of tangy red fruit and salinity. The palate is both sweet and salty, with flavors of orange peel and wild cherry, before the herbs and earth eventually return. Tannins are slick and polished, but with grip.

Fresh and fruity red with aromas of strawberries, raspberries and cinnamon. Medium-bodied, crunchy and lightly chalky in texture. From organically grown grapes. Delicious now.

A remarkably pretty blend of violets, blood orange, cloves and crushed blackberries forms an inviting bouquet as the 2023 Il Frappato opens in the glass. It washes across the palate with ripe wild berry fruits and hints of tropical citrus, all carried by a stream of zesty acidity. The 2023 finishes long with a lasting primary concentration, maintaining fantastic freshness all the way through. This fresh and lively Frappato should pair beautifully with an extensive array of cuisines.
