Sicilian wine.
"A very pleasing wine for the cost. One that I would happily pour for good friends who like quantity over higher priced quality. Sicily is a new wine- growing area for me and I am not disappointed. If still available I will buy a back- up case."

dried fruit finish
"this is a great value for a sicilian wine that has the qualities you'd expect from the region: dried fruits / raisin, earthier and herbal overtones but without the sometimes peppery finishes of others. good value - ready to drink now. would order again."

I wish there was more of it!
"Traveling through Sicily a few years ago, Frappato was a new experience for me. This particular one embodied all the attributes I would expect in a well crafted boutique wine. Smooth, balanced, fruit forward. Even better in a few years, if you are fortunate enough to have some."

It’s Getting Better All the Time
"When traveling in Sicily, fresh local Frappato is always a delight. There are two ‘styles’, I think. The first, with a lower abv, is drunk fresh, occasionally with a slight chill, always unabashedly straightforward. It’s a “pretty” drink. The second type, with a higher abv, is more substantial and aspires to something more memorable. Lot 335 is the latter type, and a respectable presentation. I let this bottle breathe for three hours before tasting, and my first reaction was, “Wow! This is a great Frappato, but it needs at least two more years in the bottle.” If you have the patience, cellar this one for a while longer and you’ll have a gem that will rival many mature Pinot Noirs at a fraction of the cost. My score accounts for potential."

Really Nice!
"It's a lovely light bodied red. I enjoy it with a light chill and with anything you'd like a lighter Pinot with. I'd grab more if there was any left!"

Pretty good for an unknown grape type
"Gave this a shot with spaghetti carbonara- knew from the inky color the wine would hold up to bacon and black pepper- and it did Not a lite weight"

Great with pasta dishes

A great Sicilian
"Fresh raspberries on the nose. Strong but wonderful. The wine has balance though. I did not decant but rather poured in a very big glass and gave it some air. The fruit is balanced by the leather and chocolate in the wine. Just a wonderful light Sicilian wine. Goes well with anything but worked wonderfully with the shrimp fra diavolo I made."
