Le Fontane 'Sabbe Rosse' Rosso

Le Fontane shares familial ties to the legendary COS and Occhipinti wineries in Sicily, and this new project absolutely belongs in the same conversation. The Sabbie Rosse, named so due to red clay soils in the vineyard, is like an alternate take of their Cerasuolo di Vittoria. This wine is mostly Frappato, with just over a quarter of it being Nero d'Avola. The result is a medium-ish bodied red with inviting red berry and rose notes and a lingering, raspberry-tinged finish. Delicate herbal notes on the palate pair perfectly with poultry and richer fish, like tuna or salmon.
