Biscaris Frappato 'Costa Jatta' 2024 | Sicily, Italy

Dried black fruit, dried kitchen herbs, bracing acidity and something gently saline. Big grippy tannin. Dark, brooding and full bodied. I swoon for this handsome cat. 

Producer: Biscaris

Region: Cerasuolo di Vittoria, Sicily

Grapes: Frappato

NERD NOTES

11 bio-dynamic ha farmed by Antonia Guardabasso and her daughter-in-law, Veronica Gentoli. 

Soil is largely Terre Rosse, pink sands high in calcium carbonate. Good for bones and good for adding freshness to a rich wine.

They only pump out 70 to 80 thousand bottles of wine a year.
