2024 Caruso e Minini Frapello

Caruso e Minini's Frappello is a uniquely Sicilian blend of Frappato and Nero d'Avola, combining elegance with vibrant Mediterranean character. Produced in western Sicily, where sea breezes moderate the warm climate, this wine showcases aromas of wild strawberry, ripe cherry, red plum, violets, and a touch of Mediterranean herbs. The palate is fresh and silky with soft tannins, making it approachable while still offering impressive complexity. Critics typically score Frappello vintages in the 90–92 point range, praising its balance, freshness, and exceptional value. Pair it with grilled tuna, margherita pizza, pasta alla Norma, charcuterie, roasted vegetables, or herb-roasted chicken. Best enjoyed now through 2028, served slightly below room temperature (60–64°F).
