Grape varieties: Frappato
Il Frappato stems from a dream which Arianna had when she was a girl to make a wine that knows the land that she work, the air she breath, and her own thoughts. It is bitter, bloody and elegant. That is Vittoria and the Iblei Mountains. It is the wine that most resembles me, brave, original and rebellious. But not only. It has peasant origins, for this it loves its roots and the past that it brings in; but, at the same time, it is able to fight to improve itself. It knows refinement without forgetting itself.
