Who/What/How:
- The Enoitalia project, which is behind this wine, started in 1986. The family affair combined the efforts of brothers Giuliano, Augusto and Floriano. They aimed to be global ambassadors for Italian wine. They looked to source unique and delicious wines with a clear focus on sustainability, as they look to significantly reduce their energy requirements.
Taste:
- For the Lignum Vitis Frappato Shiraz, the Frappato and Shiraz grapes were both vinified separately, before being blended together. The wine is then aged in large barrels providing body and texture, as well as spiced and savoury tasting notes of white pepper, almond, dark chocolate and marzipan. Yet, it has been done with care as to not overpower the delicate fruit flavours of cherry, blackcurrant and plum, along with a punchy, persistent acidity.
