Vittoria, Sicily.
100% Frappato di Vittoria.
Hand-picked towards the end of September.
After a very gentle de-stemming and crushing the grapes are fermented at a controlled temperature. The wine is separated from the skins and malolactic fermentation is allowed to take place naturally. The wine is kept on its fine lees for about 4-6 months in stainless steel tanks.
Rina Russa genuinely has its own unique style, as the Frappato grapes come from ancient clones developed on our own estate. Beautiful light cherry colour, with a fresh and vibrant bouquet, reminiscent of wild strawberries and a beautifully balanced palate.
Traditionally served lightly chilled with fish.
