Back To My Roots
Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008
People don’t drink a whole lot of Sicilian wine, except maybe the Sicilians. That’s a shame because they have some outstanding wine coming from the rock where my people are from.
I’ll keep this short and sweet. The wine is the 2006 – Valle dell’Acate, Il Frappato ($19). The varietal is Frappato. In the glass it is light ruby and not dense at all. On the tongue it is medium-bodied and rings of dark fruit, currant and berries. The overwhelming flavor here is black cherry. I mean it really tasted like cherries. This is a very well balanced delicious wine worth it’s tag. I’d say it’s drinkable with any Italian dish. I want to try it with a little chill on it.
Tomorrow I hope to have a video up. Yay!
