Fresh, floral, and delightfully expressive, Tenuta Bastonaca’s Frappato IGP 2017 is a standout Sicilian red with finesse and personality. Made from 100% Frappato grapes grown on volcanic soils, this wine showcases the lighter, more aromatic side of Sicily — vibrant, silky, and full of charm.
Tasting Notes:
Pale ruby in the glass, this Frappato bursts with red cherry, wild strawberry, rose petals, and a hint of spice. The palate is light to medium-bodied with bright acidity, smooth tannins, and a clean, mineral finish. It’s fresh, balanced, and effortlessly drinkable.
Winemaking & Region:
From the Vittoria area of southeastern Sicily, the Frappato grapes are grown organically on lava-rich soils. Fermentation is done with minimal intervention to preserve freshness and aromatic purity. Aged in stainless steel, this 2017 vintage has matured into a beautifully integrated wine while retaining its vibrancy.
