Nose

The nose is particular. It reminds the violet, the rose, but also important sensation of wild strawberries, raspberry, spicy sensation such as green pepper and sweet as cinnamon.

Palate

The sip is intense, fresh, very pleasant with an extremely smooth tannin. We notice a characteristic sapidity, expression of the territory where the vineyard is grown, where Lake Biviere and the sea breeze caresses the bunches.

Winemaking

After the crushing, the maceration on the skin starts. It lasts from 5 to 7 days. The fermentation takes place at the controlled temperature of 26°C, with short and frequent pump-overs which decrease their frequencies at the end of the fermentation. The malolactic fermentation takes place after the alcoholic fermentation.

Aging

In stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature for 4 to 5 months, 2 months in bottle

Appearance

Slightly transparent, extremely bright, a ruby red wine.

Food Pairing

The feature of frappato allow us to play with the service temperature. Reducing the temperature around 10° we can serve it for example with seared tuna, fish cooked in foil, grilled vegetable, and why not, pizza.

At an higher temperature, 14/16°,to mid-aged cheese and white meats.
