Frappato
Frappato has been the subject of much research and experimentation by Tasca. Traditionally used in blending, we’ve experimented in making it a true expression of Tenuta Regaleali. We planted Frappato at Tenuta Regaleali on medium-textured soils, with even amounts of sand and clay textures. Generally, this soil ensures a balanced growth of the plant, not excessively vigorous, and therefore also a balanced wine.
