Lamoresca 2025 Sicilia Frappato Nerocapitano

The 2025 vintage is a pleasure, with all the fresh strawberry and herbs you expect from Frappato but with a bit more restrained fruit than the 2024, and more sweet herbal and vegetable garden scents. Named Nerocapitano because the local dialect name for Frappato is Capitano Nero.

100% Frappato. 14 days of maceration on the skin in vertical “tini”, the skin gets manually pressed down 2 times a day, without temperature control or added yeasts. At the end of fermentation (sometimes before if tannins are too intense) he uses an old-fashioned manual basket press for softly pressing the must back to avoid pulling ‘sharp tannins.’ The wine is aged in concrete through the winter and is racked at least three times. Minimal added sulfur and no filtering or fining.
