"From antiquity to today the Farappato grape has been here in the Ragusa province of Sicily. And the Jacono family has been here since the 19th century making wine from this native grape. To this day they offer one of the best examples on the market. Frappato is a great served chilled, and this is one of the best on the market. It has a scented, floral nose with berries and anise aromas. I smell Toblerone and I'm not mad at it. It has a wonderful palate with a beautiful weighted yet vibrant texture, bursting with acidity."

"A remarkably pretty blend of violets, blood orange, cloves and crushed blackberries forms an inviting bouquet as the 2023 Il Frappato opens in the glass. It washes across the palate with ripe wild berry fruits and hints of tropical citrus, all carried by a stream of zesty acidity. The 2023 finishes long with a lasting primary concentration, maintaining fantastic freshness all the way through. This fresh and lively Frappato should pair beautifully with an extensive array of cuisines."
