- Score: 90 Vintage 2023 James Suckling A very pretty, red-fruited wine that offers bitter cherries, peach skin, red flowers and a hint of pink peppercorns on the nose. Sleek and mellow on the palate, with a medium body and supple tannins. Very pleasant and seductive. From organically grown grapes. Vegan. Sustainable. Drink now Shelf Talker Full Page Review
- Score: 89 Vintage 2022 James Suckling A light and tangy frappato which is more like a rosé than a light-bodied red. Crisp acidity with candied watermelon and lemon at the end. From organically grown grapes. Drink now. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
- Score: 90 Vintage 2021 Wine Enthusiast An incandescent ruby-red in the glass, this wine offers aromas of strawberry-watermelon candy, wet bricks and rose water, with a dusty, salty crushed-rock edge. Strawberries and watermelon with candied notes carry over to the palate along with the saltiness, lifted further by acid and quiet but present tannin. Shelf Talker Full Page Review

- Score: 89 Vintage 2019 Vinous Media The 2019 Frappato Rina Russa pulls you close with notes of sweet spice, strawberries and roses. It’s soft with a pleasantly balanced inner sweetness, giving way to a pure display of red fruits. Hints of sour citrus and tart berries linger as this tapers off to freshness. This harmonious Frappato should not be over-thought; simply indulge. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
