Marchesi di pianogrillo FRAPPATO IGT (2024) - Sicilia

£35.00

THE GRAPE
100% Frappato from organic vineyards around Chiaramonte Gulfi in Ragusa—Sicily's light-hearted, high-altitude native red that laughs at Nebbiolo with its effortless perfume and grace.

THE WINE
Medium ruby with purple glints like Etna sunset. Nose bursts with morello cherries, wild strawberries, dried rose petals, mulberry and a twist of white pepper over dusty earth. Juicy, medium-bodied palate flows with cool red fruit, floral lift, gentle tannins and bright, sapid finish—12.5% refreshment that drinks now or charms through 2028.

FOOD PAIRING
Sarde in saor, pasta con le sarde, grilled sausages, eggplant caponata, or Sicilian arancini—sunlit island feasts.

THE WINEMAKER
Azienda Agricola Pianogrillo farms organically in southeastern Sicily's Iblei mountains, vinifying Frappato in steel with minimal wood touch—pure varietal joy from vines rooted in calcareous clay.
