    About The Varietal

    Frappato

    Frappato is a red grape variety known for its light body, and it is extensively cultivated on the southeastern coast of Sicily. These grapes produce wines with a cherry-red hue, aromatic qualities, and low tannin content. Varietal Frappato wines are light-bodied and exhibit a subtle resemblance to high-quality Beaujolais wines.
