90pts Vinous
Perfumed violet, lavender, sage and citrus-inflected blackberry waft up from the 2023 Frappato Dumè. Fresh and pure in style, it leads off with salty mineral tones before giving way to depths of tart wild berry fruit and spice. A bump of zesty acidity keeps the mouth watering for more. The 2023 finishes long with a sour cherry resonance that fades slowly. Drinking Window: 2025 - 2026

The 2023 ‘Dume’ Frappato from Gorghi Tondi is a bright, expressive Sicilian red that showcases the lighter, more aromatic side of the island’s viticultural diversity. Made entirely from Frappato—a grape prized for its floral lift and juicy red fruit—this wine is energetic, versatile, and deeply rooted in coastal terroir.

Appearance:
Light ruby with translucent edges—visually delicate, but inviting.

Nose:
Fresh and perfumed, with a vibrant mix of wild strawberry, pomegranate, rose petal, and blood orange. Underneath, subtle notes of Mediterranean herbs and a dusty, earthy nuance lend depth and a touch of seriousness.

Palate:
Light-bodied, juicy, and sleek, with crisp acidity and barely-there tannins. Red cherry, cranberry, and raspberry dominate the palate, carried by a gentle herbal backbone and a saline edge that speaks to the vineyards’ proximity to the sea. The finish is refreshing, dry, and clean, making it immensely drinkable.

Style & Character:
This is a classic, chillable Frappato: bright, fresh, and easygoing, yet far from simple. It’s a wine that captures the sun-drenched character of Sicily while remaining light on its feet—a perfect red for warm weather or casual meals. The 2023 vintage is particularly vibrant and pure.

Pairing Suggestions:
Serve slightly chilled with grilled tuna, caponata, margherita pizza, couscous with vegetables, or a charcuterie board. It also works well with lighter pasta dishes and Middle Eastern flavors.
