WINE DESCRIPTION

Nicosia Frappato is a bright and lively wine from the sun-drenched, sandy soils of southern Sicily. The Frappato variety is known for its fresh, fruity character, and in this wine, it is showcased beautifully with aromas of ripe cherries, strawberries, and subtle floral notes. On the palate, it is light-bodied yet vibrant, offering smooth tannins and a lively acidity that supports its fruit-forward profile. The wine finishes with a refreshing and lingering fruitiness.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This wine is a wonderful expression of Frappato, showcasing its signature freshness and delicate elegance.It pairs beautifully with Mediterranean dishes, particularly seafood, grilled vegetables, and lighter pastas. Its bright acidity makes it an ideal match for dishes with tomato-based sauces or fresh cheeses. Nicosia Frappato is a perfect wine for enjoying on its own or paired with casual, everyday meals.
