The nose has the crisp sweetness of mulberries, blackberries, black plums and violets, and the mineral edge of graphite. On the palate, citrus pith and spices balance more dark berries, while acid lifts textured, rolling tannins. — Danielle Callegari
Our Tasting Note
A pretty and delicate Medium- ruby color. Med/med+ nose, strawberry, red cherry, red plum skin, spice, tobacco, crushed wild florals. A medium body, with medium and fine grain tannins, med/med+ mouthwatering acidity, med+ palate intensity, excellent freshness and length. As good as it gets for intro level Frappato!
