LIGHT-BODIED, WILD STRAWBERRY, CRANBERRY, REDCURRANT, SALINITY, NO OAK

Frappato is the native light red of southeastern Sicily — thin-skinned, high-acid, and fiercely aromatic. “Rina russa” is Sicilian dialect for red sand, a nod to the terra rossa of the Contrada Santa Teresa estate in Vittoria. Stefano and Marina Girelli, siblings who brought Trentino experience to indigenous Sicilian varieties, bought the estate in 2001 and farm its 39 hectares of vines organically.

The fruit comes from a Frappato selection grown on the estate, picked by hand into small crates, chilled overnight and fermented cool, then held four to six months on its fine lees in stainless steel. No oak at any stage. In Vittoria, Frappato is the red that goes with fish — serve it lightly chilled.
