Frappato: Sicilian elegance, freshness, and identity
The Frappato collection from Italian Wine Selection gathers some of the most interesting expressions of this grape variety, a symbol of southeastern Sicily. Here you will find wines with a fragrant, smooth, and authentic profile, capable of combining immediacy and finesse, with a well-recognizable territorial character.
Frappato is a grape variety that produces wines with a brilliant color, clear aromas of small red fruits, flowers, and light spices, with generally delicate tannins and a pleasant savoriness. It is an ideal choice for those seeking territorial reds that are versatile and highly drinkable, without sacrificing depth and personality.
A Sicilian grape between Vittoria and its best interpretations
This selection particularly highlights the area of Vittoria and its most recognizable style, with labels such as Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG, Frappato di Vittoria, and interpretations from single cru or contrada.

Among the featured labels, the interpretations of Occhipinti Azienda Agricola stand out, a reference name for an artisanal and identity-focused reading of Frappato, with wines like "PT" Pettineo, "BB" Bombolieri, and "FL" Fossa di Lupo. The collection also includes offerings from Donnafugata and Feudi del Pisciotto, as well as wines with strong personality like Bell'Assai Vittoria DOC Frappato Sicilia and Floramundi.
