Details
Made from Sicily's Frappato grape variety, this is a stunner. Deeply coloured and complex, expect aromas of earth and forest floor, with herbal notes of thyme and gentian. Meaty and delicious, this is a pink for those who like a pretty serious, thought-provoking number!
Tucked away in the sun-soaked hills of Sicily, you'll find Due Terre, a winery steeped in history. Dating back centuries, this family-run estate has weathered the passage of time, maintaining its charm and traditional winemaking techniques. From the vine to the bottle, they've embraced an ethos of craftsmanship that shines through in each glass. With its fertile volcanic soil, the vineyard’s unique terroir imparts a distinctive character to the wines. Sicily's warm climate and cool sea breezes allow the grapes to ripen gradually, ensuring vibrant flavours and balanced acidity. Winemaking here is low intervention and hands-off, whilst everything in the vineyard is carried out according to biodynamic practice.

Pairing guide
Rich rosé wines, such as this stunning release, have very much been having their moment for the past couple of years. It’s not hard to see why - they’re absolutely fantastic for pairing with some of our favourite dishes, and offer fabulous flavours that work well with a wide range of foods. We reckon it’s best served with heartier white fish recipes - cod, grilled hake with harissa, halibut and smoked haddock are all highly recommended here. Green vegetable dishes like a warm asparagus salad, seafood stews, and classics like tinned sardine salads will also work an absolute treat.

Wine region
Sicily, Italy
Sicily is a productive island located in the Mediterranean Sea, off the southern coast of Italy.
The island has a varied landscape, with low coastal plains to hills and even active volcanic mountains. The climate is Mediterranean, with hot, dry summers and mild winters. Disease pressure is low thanks to drying coastal breezes making the region ideal for organic farming practices. The soils are volcanic, sandy, and clay.
Sicily can be divided into three wine regions, including the volcanic Etna DOC on the eastern side of the island, known for its red wines made from the Nerello Mascalese grape. The Marsala DOC on the island's western side is known for its fortified wines. The remaining Southeast of the Island produces a range of wines, notably Frappato and Nero d’Avola.
