W/O Organic Frappato Red
Picture this. You’re sat in a charming coastal restaurant in Taormina. Soft waves are crashing beneath the orange sky and to top it off, you’re holding a glass of this bright, silky red. Perfection. Made from organic grapes, this medium-bodied Frappato is one to uncork over the bank holiday. Boasting notes of raspberry, plum and juicy red cherries, enjoy with Mediterranean-style fish or a simple but satisfying pasta pomodoro.

The bottle itself is made up of 100% recycled glass, making it a great choice for the eco-conscious wine drinker.
