Caruso & Minini Frappello

The Caruso & Minini Frappello is a delightful wine that invites you to slow down and savour each sip. Right from the first pour, it greets you with a deep ruby colour that promises richness. The nose is welcoming, offering soft aromas of ripe red berries—think strawberries and cherries—balanced with a touch of spice, like a whisper of pepper or cinnamon.

As you take a sip, it's easy to appreciate how smooth it is. The wine has a medium body, not too heavy but with enough structure to feel satisfying. The fruitiness carries through, with those same red berries now joined by a hint of plum. There’s a lovely freshness to it, like a breeze on a warm day, keeping things light and vibrant. But beneath that, there’s a subtle earthiness too—something slightly rustic that adds a bit of depth without being overpowering.

The finish is gentle, lingering just enough to leave you wanting another sip. There’s no harshness here, just a soft, round ending with a touch of tannin that gives it a little grip. Overall, the Caruso & Minini Frappello is a wine that's easy to enjoy, perfect for a casual evening when you just want to relax and enjoy the moment. It’s versatile, too, whether you’re pairing it with food or sipping it on its own.

Try it with pasta dishes that have tomato-based sauces, like a hearty lasagna or spaghetti Bolognese. The acidity in the tomatoes works beautifully with the freshness of the wine, and the slight spice in the Frappello complements the savoury elements in the sauce.
