Portelli Frappato

Portelli

Red

If you've never encountered Frappato before, prepare to be charmed by this delightful Sicilian red. Portelli's version showcases everything that makes this indigenous variety special – bright fruit, aromatic complexity, and a refreshing lightness that's perfect for Mediterranean cuisine. Frappato is sometimes called Sicily's answer to Pinot Noir, and while that's a simplification, it gives you an idea of its elegant, medium-bodied character. Portelli farms their vineyards sustainably in the southeastern corner of Sicily, where the Mediterranean influence gives the wines a distinctive saline quality. This is the kind of red wine you can even serve with a slight chill on warmer days – versatile, food-friendly, and utterly refreshing. It's perfect for those looking to explore beyond the usual suspects of the wine world and discover something with genuine personality.
