About this wine

“Nerocapitano” is what locals call Frappato in Filippo Rizzo’s village. The fruit comes from 20-year-old vines on clay and sandstone, farmed organically and harvested by hand. Grapes are fermented with native yeasts and macerated on skins for about two weeks, then pressed to concrete vats for a short élevage before an early bottling. The style is ultra-juicy and perfumed: pale red colour, scents of red cherry, raspberry, blood orange and wildflowers, and a breezy, low-alcohol palate that’s best served slightly chilled. A cult reference for chillable Mediterranean reds.

Tasting Note

Critic notes: light, bright and perfumed with red cherry, blood orange and wildflowers; a breezy, crunchy palate with silky raspberry fruit and tangy, citrusy acidity.

In the glass

Very pale ruby, almost like a dark rosé.

In the nose

Red cherry, raspberry, blood orange, wildflowers and subtle spice.

On the palate

Light-bodied and refreshing with crunchy red fruit, zesty acidity and almost no perceptible tannin.

Lamoresca

Lamoresca is a tiny, rustic-chic estate in the hills of central Sicily, working organically with local varieties. The wines are juicy, characterful and often a bit wild, showcasing herbs, spice and a strong sense of Mediterranean scrub. They are soulful, unpolished bottles aimed at drinkability and authenticity.
