Boscopiano is named after the forest where the city of Vittoria was formed in 1607, at the behest of Contessa Vittoria Colonna Henriquez Cabrera, who invested her family wealth here.
100% Frappato
The grapes are grown in a single vineyard, which is a little over one hectare.
The vineyard was planted in the contrada Bastonaca in 2005, with a high density of 4,500 vines per hectare.
The Frappato grapes are harvested late, the first selection taking place in the first 10 days of October.
We harvest by hand, putting the grapes into small crates of 15-18kg which we store in a cold room overnight.
Typical of the Frappato grape in colour, it is ruby red with lovely purple reflections. The nose is a whirlwind of red fruits, spices, floral notes, oranges and almonds. On the palate there are notes of ginger and blood oranges. Succulent and gentle, it is extremely elegant, with a long finish.
Boscopiano is elegant, perfect with cheese and fine dishes such as Beef Wellington.
