Il Frappato - Vittoria Frappato D.O.C. - Valle Dell'Acate
The Valle dell’Acate winery was founded by Giuseppe Jacono at the end of the 19th century and is today run by the latest generation of the Jacono family. Since the start, the familial vocation has been to establish a name for the family’s wines on an international level.
Valle dell’Acate winery has continued this tradition, specializing in the cultivation of the most prized and productive autochthonous vines, creating superior wines. The territory around Acate has a variety of landscapes. The countryside, at once sweet and arid, includes fertile flatlands that slope gently down towards the low, uniform coastline.
The Frappato vines for the Il Frappato red wine grow in the Valle dell'Acate vineyards located in Acata near Ragusa in Southeastern Sicily at an altitude of 100 m. The grapes were harvested by hand, sorted and destalked followed by fermentation on the skins. The wine was matured in stainless steel vats for 6 months and bottle-aged for at least 3 months before release.
Colour: Very clear ruby red.
Longevity 3-5 years.
