...flaunts those slightly rustic edges with charm and confidence. The bouquet opens to ripe blueberry, raspberry and dried cassis. The quality of fruit shows good integrity and balance... The nose is pristine. In the mouth, Il Frappato delivers vibrant acidity and snappy fruit flavors.
The palate is full of dried strawberres and hints of watermelon... Medium body and firm and chewy tannins. Always excellent.
...opens with funky but appealing aromas of tilled soil, crushed black olive and ripe berry. The juicy, medium-bodied palate provides crunchy tart red cherry, succulent raspberry, ground pepper, energizing mineral and a gamey note. Ripe tannins and bright acidity provide the framework.
Perfumed aromas and flavors of candied violet, red currant, aromatic herbs and orange peel. Finishes very long and floral, and richer and deeper than the SP68 Rosso, but with its same prickly palate sensation.
Wild, savoury, cherry nose with hints of iron and a touch of leather... Supple, bright and savoury palate with rustic tannins.
