A singular red wine, characterized by a beautiful light colour and very sweet tannins, as well as fresh and crisp fruity aromas. It is the red wine for fish par excellence. But it is also suitable for an aperitif while chatting and waiting for the fish in the oven to be cooked just right. Frappato grapes are harvested during the coolest hours of the day and processed with care and attention so as not to damage their delicate aromatic framework. Patrì, however, chooses to give these grapes a little more help, deciding, after racking, to let part of the wine mature in steel and part in a large barrel, until the moment of bottling. The result is a glass characterized by a beautiful ruby red colour that opens with rich and intense aromatic notes, with delicate fruity and floral scents typical of this grape variety. Fresh cherry, morello cherry, rose and small berries are easily recognized. The mouthfeelis pleasantly fresh and soft, with a delicate tannic texture that gives pleasantness to the drink and a distinct elegance.
Rocco, Patrizia and their children Giuseppe, Elisa and Daniela Patrì have a dream. That of enhancing the value of its historical viticultural heritage. For this reason, in 2010 they founded a new company in Butera, in the central-southern part of Sicily. An area particularly suited to the production of wine, an area containing some of the most prestigious Sicilian appellations, starting from Cerasuolo di Vittoria and Etna DOC, as well as DOC Sicilia of course. Lands, and grapes, capable of producing the wines that modern consumers demand, quality reds and whites, elegant, well-structured and Mediterranean but also capable of evoking suggestions linked to the territory of origin. All this is achieved through meticulous care in every aspect of the workmanship. From the countryside, where the company can now count on about 250 hectares, one third of which are planted with Nero d'Avola, Frappato, Syrah, Catarratto, Insolia, Grillo, Chardonnay, Zibibbo and Petit Manseng. All the way to the cellar and then to the bottle, the realm of oenologist Antonio Landolfi, who is entrusted with the supervision of winemaking. To date, the company is constantly going through a phase of full and constant growth. With an annual production of about 100,000 bottles that can grow a lot more, without having to compromise on quality.
