Description
100% Frappato
A very light ruby-red wine with intense aromas of small red berries: cherries, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries. It is lively and fresh on the palate, yet subtle, with persistent flavors of red berries. The moderate tannins mean this can be served at chill if you choose. Ideal with oily fish such as sardines or with fennel and pasta.
After fermentation, the wine is left to age in stainless steel vats for a period of 3 months. After bottling, the wine is aged further for about 2 months.
The Azienda Agricola Poggio di Bortolone was founded by the Cosenza Family at the end of the eighteenth century, immediately after Sicily’s transition out of feudalism and the annexation by mainland Italy. Since then it has been passed down from father to son and today Pierluigi Cosenza, son of Ignatius, is the current owner and manager of the Poggio di Bortolone Estate. Whilst embracing the long established family traditions, he is introducing fresh and innovative ideas to build on the successes of the past.
