The Cosenza family’s vineyards are ideally located in a valley where the Para Para and Mazzarronello rivers join. Frappato thrives in these sandy soils and hot and dry climate to produce a light red bursting with red f ruits and a lively f reshness. It is perhaps exactly the sort of wine you might not expect f rom such a region: light colour, gentle tannins, moderate alcohol and refreshing acidity. When blended with Nero d’Avola, the two grapes complement one another with a little more body and richer f ruit whilst maintaining energy and f reshness.
100% Frappato, fermented at cool temperatures for about two weeks and aged in stainless steel for a few months. A light ruby colour, this is perfumed with bright red berry f ruit that is f resh, carried through onto the palate with ref reshing acidity. Locally it pairs well with oily fish, pasta with sardines and caponata.
