w/o Frappato 2023
Wine Details
Flavor Profile
Here’s a juicy Sicilian red you can feel really good about drinking. Named w/o (without), it’s born from the belief that you should be able to enjoy great wine knowing that it’s been crafted sustainably and packaged thoughtfully. 100% enjoyment, without compromise. It also has a 94-point rating from Italian critic Luca Maroni.
The man behind it? Third-generation winemaker Dino Taschetta. He makes some of our best-selling Sicilian wines and recently rescued his grandfather’s old vineyard after a major earthquake forced its abandonment more than 50 years ago. Now, he’s doing his part to save the environment, too.
A vegan wine, w/o is made withorganically grown, sustainably farmed Frappato grapes indigenous to Sicily, and is bottled in unique, all-around eco-friendly packaging—we’re talking sustainable corks, recycled ‘Wild Glass’ (which has a neat green tint) and minimal labeling, so your bottle is easy to recycle. And clearly, he's hit the mark: Not only is it one of the most irresistible Italian reds we've tried in a long time, previous vintages have earned stacks of international acclaim and have become favored by wine enthusiasts near and far.
But what does this Frappato taste like? Absolutely delicious—it might remind you of an elegant Pinot Noir. Look forward to intense floral and spiced red berry flavors, plus silky tannins and a long, concentrated finish. Dino recommends serving it lightly chilled—wonderful as an aperitif or paired with simple pastas, roasted white meats and hearty fish.
A brilliant, authentic Sicilian red—without compromise. Order your share today.
