About the Wine

The family behind Tenuta del Nanfro has long been making wine on its estate in southeastern Sicily. The vineyards are located just four kilometers from the small town of Caltagirone, known for its ancient ceramic art and craft history. The family has 32 hectares of land, which is farmed organically and predominantly planted with the indigenous grapes of the region: Frappato, Nero d’Avola, Inzolia, and a bit of Chardonnay. The combination of mild climate and sandstone soils produce wines that exhibit a “sensual” character, unique to this particular region of Sicily.

This style of winemaking is said to date back to Greek occupation of the island. Sicily may be most well known for its massive volcano and decadent pizzas, but these wines are really starting to develop a reputation of their own. It’s time to prepare your favorite hearty pasta and pair alongside this Sicilian masterpiece. Are you ready for a meal filled with gastronomic ecstasy?

Tasting Notes: 100% Frappato. A deep amaranth-colored wine, filled with reflections, teases the palate with a memory of red fruits, spicy and sensual. With an enveloping and pleasant aroma, it is a pleasant and solid wine, balanced and classy, ​​exciting, and full of personality.
