"The 2023 Frappato Vigna Biddine Sottana blossoms in the glass with a delicate blend of violets, roses and crushed wild blueberries. It,s soothingly round and nearly juicy in feel, yet it maintains refinement as a wave of ripe red and blue fruits cascades across a tactile tinge of minerality. Gently grippy tannins linger as the 2023 tapers off remarkably fresh and neatly structured. Crunchy tannins frame the experience without slowing its momentum."
