Valle dell'Acate's varietal Frappato shows the grape at its most approachable: vibrant raspberry and violet aromas, light body, zero oak, a wine for fresh enjoyment.

What it pairs with

  • Pizza margherita
    Light body and fresh acidity make this the ideal Sicilian pizza companion.
  • Insalata caprese
    Frappato's raspberry freshness complements ripe tomatoes and fresh mozzarella.
  • Grilled vegetables
    A versatile summer red that works across light grilled vegetable dishes.

History

Valle dell'Acate introduced a varietal Frappato alongside the DOCG blend to showcase the grape's individual character. Steel-only aging preserves the fresh, aromatic, lightest expression of Frappato.
