Gorghi Tondi, Sicilia DOC (Sicily, Italy) Frappato 2020

Jul 27, 2022

By Marguerite Thomas

 Gorghi Tondi grows excellent grapes in Sicily in the middle of a wetland park.  For over a century the winery has passed from mother to daughter.  Gorghi Tondi’s grapes have been cultivated for five generations.  All their wines are certified organic.  While berry flavors dominate the Dumé flavor profile there is nothing sweet about this red wine.  Fresh, crisp, and low in alcohol (12.5%) it is worth chilling it slightly before serving.  Dumé is an especially good choice when late summer and fall heat waves spike.
