2022 Frappato di Vittoria Bell'Assai

Tasting notes:

Aged in stainless steel vatrs for four months and at least 6 months in the botle before release. Intense floral notes of lavender followed by aromas of strawberry and cherry. On the palate it is fresh and fragrant with soft tannins. This is a very pure example of this local variety.

Producer description:

Donnafugata, meaning ‘fleeing woman’, belongs to the Rallo family who has been making wine in Sicily since 1851. During the 1980s, they started championing the potential of the island’s native varieties while experimenting with international ones. They now own four estates located on the hills east of Marsala, Vittoria, Pantelleria and the slopes of Etna. Their masterpiece is ‘Ben Ryé’, a Zibibbo Passito from the island of Pantelleria. In 2017, they started a collaboration with Dolce & Gabbana aiming to create a series of special wines, combining Donnafugata’s expertise with Dolce & Gabbana’s distinctive style.
