Santa Tresa Sparkling Frappato, with its bright notes of wild strawberry and red cherry, gives this spritz its rosy color and lively fizz. Made from organic grapes grown in southern Sicily, it finishes dry and fresh, which keeps the Sicilian Spritz light on its feet next to the vermouth and blood orange. It’s an easy bottle to love on its own, too, and a good one to keep chilled for company. |
Bright, a little bitter, and just sweet enough, this spritz is an easy one to pour when friends drop by. Sparkling Frappato brings the berry fruit and fizz, bianco vermouth adds a soft herbal note, and blood orange juice ties it all together. It takes about a minute to make and needs no special equipment.
