Nero d’Avola, Frappato, Sicily, Italy

Drink with us from the most southern corner of Sicily, what winemaker Dario Serrintino lyrically calls "a desert next to the beach”. Mortellito is comprised of a two hectare piece of countryside where Dario’s great-grandparents lived in the early twentieth century, and where he now organically farms. Sicily is a revered hot spot for innovation and organic wine, and has been called, “the hip grandmother of the wine world” by some. FUN FACT! Dario used to sell his grapes to the likes of natural wine icons Frank Cornelissen and Lamoresca, talk about #GoodGrapes! This blend of savoury and passionate nero d’avola and raspberry-spiced frappato sees 15 days of maceration, pulling benevolent tannins. Susucaru vibes (circa 2010) alll the way – candied strawberry, white peppercorn, star anise, dried log in the sun, salty limoncello, swiss chard bitterness, ash & crunchy minerality that brings this wine to a 5/5 on the HIGHLY drinkable scale. Try with an ‘nduja and fennel pizza.
