Every year, Fratta is a groundbreaking blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot that you can't help but love. Fratta proved the Veneto's potential for winemaking when it was first produced in 1977, the year Angela Maculan (a second daughter) was born. Deep, complex fruit bouquet, rounded off with fine sweet spices, tobacco and coffee. On the palate, beautiful lines and a sharp focus with dry mineral tones framing dark fruits, dried cherries and exotic spices. Fratta is a bold and big wine and there is no doubting the broodingelegance of this highly personalised expression. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright ruby red with a subtly brightening rim. Nose of graphite, leather, ripe wild berries, some black tea, fine undergrowth. Smooth on the palate, with clear, juicy fruit, with earthy, compact tannins, shows plenty of development potential, put away and enjoy fully in a few years." Falstaff

"A well-crafted, balanced and textured red blend of cabernet sauvignon and merlot with aromas of blueberries, cassis and wildflowers. Medium- to full-bodied with fine tannins. Velvety with a stony, grainy feel at the center and a pulpy, dense and seductive finish." James Suckling

"Dark and youthfully imposing, the 2019 Fratta wafts up with an earthy blend of flowery underbrush and mentholated herbs before evolving with notes of blackberry and balsamic spice. This is like pure velvet on the palate, weighty in feel yet perfectly offset by cooling acidity and mineral tones. A wave of tart red and black fruits saturates the senses. The 2019 tapers off dramatically long, leaving a bitter twang and a coating of fine tannins as hints of salted licorice and sage linger on and on. This is simply begging for the cellar; it’s full of potential." Vinous
