I love Frappato. With its melt-away tannins and feathery fruit, it's the Frenchie of Italian wine. Translucent and wafer-thin in the glass, Gorghi Tondi's natural expression is strawberries and cream on the palate. While it's fruit forward, it's far from a fruit bomb, balanced by cardamom, rose, and sweet fennel. Moderate in alcohol and big in flavor, it's the ultimate patio sipper. ~Allegra A
