About
Il Frappato is one of the first wines Arianna started to make from older vineyards. 40 years on average, they grow on medium-density soils composed of red sands and chalk from sub-Apennine limestone rocks. Destemming, maceration on the skins and spontaneous fermentation in 85 hl concrete vats for 25 days with daily pumping over and punching down. Racking and ageing in the same containers for 6 months and in Austrian oak barrels for 12 months.
