The lively Sibiliana Roceno Frappato
This wine is made entirely from the Frappato grape. Frappato is a unique grape variety with low tannins. It thrives primarily in southeastern Sicily, especially around the city of Vittoria. Frappato shares similarities with Pinot Noir, but also has ties to Sangiovese. The grapes for the Sibiliana Roceno Frappato are pressed immediately after harvest in the winery. Maceration follows at a carefully controlled temperature for 15 days. This process helps extract the flavor and color of the grapes. The wine is then refined in stainless steel vats, where it further develops its character and reaches its full potential. The refinement in steel helps preserve the freshness and fruity aromas of the Frappato grape, resulting in a wine that is vibrant and expressive.
The Sibiliana Roceno Frappato is a feast for the eyes with its deep red color and subtle purple hues. Upon opening the bottle, you're greeted by an enchanting bouquet of intense red fruits—a harmonious blend of cherries, strawberries, and raspberries. These fruity aromas are subtly enhanced with floral notes, adding depth and refinement to the flavor.
