Biscaris is a Sicilian producer focused on showcasing the island’s indigenous grape varieties through fresh, terroir-driven wines. Located in southeastern Sicily, the vineyards benefit from abundant sunshine balanced by cooling coastal breezes, helping maintain acidity and aromatic lift despite the warm Mediterranean climate. Sicily’s winemaking history dates back thousands of years, and in recent decades the island has undergone a major quality renaissance, with producers increasingly emphasizing native grapes and lower-intervention farming.
Frappato is one of Sicily’s most charming and distinctive red varieties, prized for its light body, bright fruit, and floral aromatics. Unlike heavier southern Italian reds, Frappato tends to produce wines with freshness and energy, often drawing comparisons to lighter styles like Gamay or Pinot Noir. At Biscaris, the focus is on preserving the grape’s natural vibrancy through gentle extraction and restrained cellar work. The result is a wine that feels lively, juicy, and incredibly versatile at the table. It’s a beautiful reminder that Sicilian reds can be elegant and refreshing while still carrying warmth and personality.
Bright strawberry, raspberry, and pomegranate with notes of rose petals and fresh herbs. Light-bodied with silky tannins, vibrant acidity, and a juicy, lifted finish.
