Cos Frappato 2011




The grape is not as well known. Often does not dance alone, as it goes well with the Nero d'Avola to christen the Cerasuolo.

In the glass, the ruby is warm, bright and brilliant.
On the nose there are aromas of an island that I love. Fruit and spices above all. It attacks on greedy sweetness with orange very firm, mixed with black currant, pomegranate and cherry, followed by a beautiful floral and hints of moss and cinchona.
But what strikes me is the spicy physiognomy - cinnamon and mace - as well as an inspired iodized footprint.

The mouth reflects, with even greater rigor and goodies, the olfactory pathways, reserving ample space to the fruit - pomegranate and dark orange in great progression – and to the tangy-spicy aspect, within an excellent acid-tannic balance.

It closes fresh, long and layered, with balsamic waves and refined evolution of resin, cinnamon and citrus.
