The Sicilian winery Maggio Vini loves the grape varieties from the region. This includes the Frappato grape, an indigenous grape variety from Sicily. Frappato is often used as a blending partner, i.e. for cuveés. However, the Frappato grape also shows its delightful charm as a single-varietal wine. This can be seen in the rosé wine from Maggio Vini.
The Frappato Rosato Antura Terre Siciliane IGP has an intense flavour of blood oranges and red fruits. The palate is powerful, savoury and full of fruit with good length. It's like biting into a ripe Sicilian orange! Its strength and vinous character make it an elegant summer accompaniment to food.

The producer of this outstanding Frappato rosé wine is the family winery Maggio Vini, located in the heart of the Vittoria wine-growing region in south-east Sicily. The extraordinary potential of this region was recognised by the Greeks, who planted the first vines in Sicily here.
The region is mainly characterised by the red grape varieties Nero d'Avola and Frappato but the white Grillo also thrives here. The Maggio family has been intensively involved with wine for a long time. In the vineyards, they concentrate on indigenous varieties and environmentally friendly organic production, while the highest technical standards apply in the cellar.
The Maggio family is characterised by its willingness to research, experiment and innovate. This is reflected in their masterfully produced wines. Massimo Maggio is also actively opposed to the proliferation of huge greenhouses and industrial plants that spoil the landscape and vineyards. He is committed to sustainable organic vegetable cultivation in Sicily.
