Its aromatic profile reveals intense floral notes of rose and violet, harmoniously intertwined with clear nuances of \u003cstrong\u003ewild strawberry and blackberry\u003c\/strong\u003e. Thanks to cryomaceration and maturation in stainless steel, on the palate it stands out for its medium-bodied structure, supported by soft and velvety tannins that offer a pleasant and smooth drink.

Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature for about fifteen days in contact with the skins. Subsequently, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation, which softens its flavour profile, making it more balanced. Maturation involves resting in \u003cstrong\u003estainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e for several months, followed by a period in the bottle to reach full expressive maturity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuca di Salaparuta enhances the island's identity with the \u003cstrong\u003eAutentici Frappato 2024\u003c\/strong\u003e, a faithful expression of central-southern Sicily.
