Mandrarossa Frappato comes from the wild, pristine region is the stunningly beautiful territory of Menfi. This unique habitat lies an a stretch of Sicilian land facing the Mediterranean Sea. The southwest coast of the island is characterised by gentle hills covered in vineyards that stretch to the sea, with olive groves dotting the landscape. This picturesque scene is framed by hedges and Mediterranean scrub.
Menfi is one of Sicily’s most important wine-producing regions, where agriculture drives both the local economy and community. In addition to exceptional wines, the area produces outstanding olive oils from native varieties, as well as vegetables like artichokes and winter melons. A rare, untouched natural habitat, Menfishire remains a relatively undiscovered gem along the Sicilian coast.
In Sicilian dialect, “frappatu” refers to the unmistakable fruit fragrance and the wine’s bouquet. This Frappato is a youthful red wine, with pronounced fruity notes of black cherry and pomegranate. The palate is savoury with good persistence, notes of sour and black cherry, red fruits, and sweet spices.
Food pairing suggestion: Serve lightly chilled with Beccafico sardines.
