Valle Dell'Acate Il Frappato Vittoria, Sicily, Italy

點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：4071

The 2009 Frappato impresses for its silky red fruit and caressing personality. The delicate texture and body lend themselves nicely to serving this with a slight chill during the summer months. The balance here is lovely. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2012. These new releases from Valle dell-Acate are impressive. Best of all, most of these wines can be had for less than $25 a bottle.Importer: Polaner Selections, Mt. Kisco, NY; tel. (914) 244-0404

Il Frappato is a light, fruity red wine that is vinified in stainless steel to maintain its lively raspberry and blueberry flavors. It can be served slightly chilled and goes down easily with vegetables, veal or white meat. ——M.L.(4/1/2012)—— 87
