Santa Tresa, Rina Russa Frappato 2019

(2021) Relatively pale ruby to chestnut in colour, there's a gentle earthiness, creaminess and soft autumnal quality to this, with spiced berry fruit. In the mouth it is dry and has a sappy, spicy quality, just hinting at sweet berry fruit again, even a hint of mocha, but the freshness of the acidity and some bitter cherry and endive strictness keep it quite pert and zippy to the finish.
