FuoriZona Frappato Terre Siciliane Igt 2020 - Cantine Barbera
€13.18
VAT included
Although originally from Ragusa, most of the Frappato is grown in the province of Trapani, a few kilometers from my vineyards.
Menfi and Vittoria have a lot in common: both exposed to the South and therefore to Africa, kissed by the salty wind of the Mediterranean and rich in sandy-limestone soils lying on compact clays. These affinities convinced me to introduce Frappato to Belìce.
When I created the FuoriZona label, Liliana Segre's story came to mind about the little girl who, during her deportation to Auschwitz, drew a butterfly flying over the barbed wire. I would like the tiny gesture of drawing that butterfly to bear witness to that message: always choose love, peace, solidarity towards every human being who lives, together with us, on this earth.
