Tasting Note

With a bright ruby red colour, Bell'Assai presents fragrant fruity notes of wild strawberries and red currants, followed by floral hints of violet on the nose. On the palate, there is a refined balance between acidity and smooth tannins.

Product Notes

Donnafugata's Bell'Assai Frappato di Vittoria is the epitome of Sicilian charm in a bottle. This red wine boasts an inviting bouquet of wild strawberries, violet, and pink pepper for a unique aroma. On the palate, it offers a vibrant, fresh feel with delicate tannins, complemented by an excellent fruity component. Distinctly medium-bodied, this wine carries an expressive character with a notable finish. It pairs splendidly with traditional Italian pasta dishes, seafood, or mildly spiced cuisine. The Bell'Assai provides a fine exemplification of the winemaking expertise and rich terroir of the Vittoria region in the hands of Donnafugata.
