Tasting Notes - Frappato Vittoria

Producer: Paterno di Vittoria

Region: Sicily, Italy
Grape Varieties: Frappato
Vintage: 2013
Overall Rating:  ★★★★☆

Pairing: This was an unfamiliar grape that was recommended by the waiter at Mozzarella & Vino.  It was a fresh, well-balanced red, with cherry flavors and some herbal/spicy notes.  It was easy to drink while waiting for our entrees and then complemented both the ravioli and the sausage that we ordered.
