Top Decanter score for Boscopiano!

Another great achievement for our Cortese Boscopiano Frappato Terre Siciliane 2019! World-famous wine magazine, Decanter has given it 92 points!

”This amphora-aged Frappato is made from a single one-hectare vineyard planted in 2005. After fermentation and malo in small 700L oval amphorae, the wine is topped up to submerge the cap and it’s left on its skins for 12 months. It spends a further six months in bottle. A deliciously seductive aroma – not of sweet, jammy strawberry, but of spicy wild strawberry with earthy nuance – is followed by an intensely fresh and light on its feet palate. There’s definitely some terracotta influence in terms of flavour and terms of softness; the wine is feather light yet had good concentration, balanced by that razor-edged acidity. Spices follow on the finish with some wild herbs and a touch of white pepper and dark chocolate. Lip-smacking and long. 1900 bottles produced.”
