ABOUT THE WINE
In 1958, Domenico Fraccaroli embarked on a journey to craft exquisite wines from local varieties in a picturesque corner of Friuli-Venezia-Giulia. Expanding the family legacy in 2002, his son, Tiziano Fraccaroli, acquired the Grotta del Ninfeo estate in Verona's town of Lavagno, allowing the family to diversify their offerings with the captivating wines of Valpolicella. Today, the torch is carried by the third generation, Domenico and Luca, who remain steadfast in their devotion to the family tradition.
TASTING NOTES
This hidden gem of an Italian red captivates with its vivacious profile of tart red cherries, luscious dark currants, and succulent strawberries, delicately intertwined with savoury Italian herbs. A delightful balance of vibrant freshness and well-rounded tannins renders this wine irresistibly smooth and enjoyable.
FOOD PAIRING
Elevate your dining experience with a luxurious pairing of melt-in-your-mouth Wagyu beef carpaccio, an indulgent black truffle-infused risotto, or a sophisticated duck and porcini mushroom pappardelle, each dish beautifully complementing the wine's charm and elegance.
FRIARWOOD SAYS
The finesse of Valpolicella contrasts strikingly with the robustness and intensity of Amarone. This light, cherry-accented wine can even be savoured with a slight chill, offering a refreshing twist to your palate.
