Frappello marries up two of the delicious indigenous Sicilian red grapes, Frappato and Nerello Mascalese, that we would love to see more of outside of Italy. It's a round, joyous and pretty, light-to-medium-bodied wine of redcurrant and mulberry fruit that explodes in your mouth like a raspberry lolly (but savoury). What a delight.

Sicily can feel like frontier wine country sometimes, with the hot dry summers and the wildness of one of Europe's most active volcanoes adding all sorts of liveliness that is often reflected in the wines. The Caruso & Minini story also has a sense of adventure: the Caruso family, who've grown grapes in Sicily for generations, partnered with the Minini family, wine traders and marketers from northern Italy, to do something cool. Today, Nino Caruso's granddaughters, Rosanna and Giovanna, run things, along with Giovanna's husband, Andrea, a former pharmacist from Piedmont who swore he'd never work with his wife or father-in-law. That didn't quite go to plan, and they all make modern, seriously cool (and typically organic) wine in a revitalised, 1904-founded winery situated in Marsala, on Sicily's western edge.
