Experts Reviews
Tamlyn Currin writes: Pale red. Tastes like a glass of summer – fresh strawberries and raspberries, ripe and sweet despite the racy acidity and gentle borage leafiness. The transparent tannins taste of cinnamon. The perfect red wine for tuna Niçoise or fish with caponata (or, quite frankly, quayside fish and chips laced with (good) tomato ketchup and chip-shop vinegar!). I love this little red wine which always reminds me of an under-tens girls' soccer team – full of energy and life and enthusiasm, fierce, determined, willing to dive right in and get grass-stained and muddy, but kind; not aggressive. Drinking 2023 to 2025. Very Good Value. - Jancis Robinson 16.5
Amy Wislocki writes: Made by acclaimed consultant winemaker Stefano Chioccioli, and new on the shelves at Waitrose, this is textbook Frappato, delicate, bright and fresh. Bright cherry red in colour, this is summer pudding in a glass, with aromas and a mouthwatering purity of crushed wild strawberries, raspberries and pomegranate. It’s lean and elegant and a perfect summer red. Try it served ever so slightly chilled, with grilled tuna. - Decanter 92
