Wine Review: This dark red colored Frappato opens with a red cherry and watermelon bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with medium acidity. The flavor profile is a red plum and loam blend with notes of oak and oolong tea. I also detected hints of red cherry, and olive in the mix. The finish is dry and its flavors drift away nicely. This wine would pair well with a Tuscan mushroom and sun-dried tomato pizza. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Brilliant ruby red with violet reflections, Bell'Assai 2019 has intense floral notes of violet and rose on the nose, as well as fruity hints of raspberry and strawberry. It is fresh and fragrant and with a soft tannin that enhances its pleasantness. We suggest painting it with grilled vegetables or salumi.
