NEROCAPITANO

​

100% Frappato

​

“Nerocapitano is born from the Sicilian tradition of crafting a wine exclusively from Frappato grapes. In the Sicilian dialect, Frappato is referred to as Capitano Nero, hence the name. This wine is light on alcohol and is best enjoyed when young. We recommend serving this wine lightly chilled during the summer, paired with a simple pizza.”
