A bright red wine bursting with morello cherry, red berry, and sweet spice notes, perfect with pasta
Mandrarossa Frappato Terre Siciliane IGT from Sicily, Italy, is a vibrant still red (ruby) wine, crafted dry from 100% Frappato grapes. The grapes were machine-harvested at night to preserve freshness, followed by maceration and fermentation at cool temperatures, then matured in steel vats for four months. This wine presents an intense ruby red hue with purple reflections, offering inviting aromas of morello and marasca cherries, small red berries, and sweet spices. The palate is bright, balanced, and culminates in a long, satisfying finish. It is a versatile choice, pairing beautifully with pasta dishes, poultry, or lean fish. This wine is also certified vegan and vegetarian.
