Sabato

Sabato is an old Minor Campanian grape variety associated with the Sorrento coast in southern Italy.

Sabato produces a medium-bodied dry red wine with good colour, tannins and acidity, and aromas of fresh red berries and herbs. It has a mild spicy flavour and a pleasant finish.

Sabato is grown in a small area, on the Sorrento coast, south of Napoli in Campania, Italy. Sabato is a mid to late ripening variety, harvested in early October. It is a secondary variety in the Penisola Sorrentina DOC. Sabato wines pair well with tomato-based dishes, grilled vegetables, pastas, and seafood dishes.

Sabato is named after the Italian word for Saturday, as it was traditionally harvested on that day.
