Frappato is a red grape variety present throughout Sicily but mainly in the province of Siracusa and Ragusa.
As a varietal, Frappato produces light bodied wines with a distinct grapey aroma. The grape is very ancient and the first evidence goes back to the 18th century. Its origin is unknown and seems to have been imported from the Iberian Peninsula.
Southern Italy is the toe, heel, and ankle of the Italian “boot” where we find the regions Campania, Basilicata, Puglia, Calabria, and Sicily as well as the distant relative Sardegna. There are scores of fascinating indigenous grape varieties here, different winemaking traditions and styles are defining each region, and the wines are often less expensive than their Northern counterparts.
Puglia and Sicily are producing huge volumes of wine, and they are battling to be the second biggest wine producing region in Italy. The hot climate is reflected in the wines and they are famous for their inexpensive, full bodied, warm, and fruit forward red wines.
