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 structured red wine made from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot with flavours of blueberries, cassis and wild flowers. Medium to full-bodied with fine tannins. Velvety with a stony, grainy feel in the centre and a pulpy, dense and seductive finish." James Suckling

"The 2019 Fratta is dark in colour and youthfully imposing. It smells of an earthy blend of floral undergrowth and mentholated herbs before unfolding with notes of blackberries and balsamic spices. The palate is like pure velvet, heavy yet perfectly balanced by cool acidity and mineral notes. A wave of tart red and black fruits saturates the senses. The 2019 tapers dramatically long, leaving a bitter tang and a layer of fine tannins, while notes of salted liquorice and sage linger long after. This wine is literally crying out to be cellared; it is full of potential." Vinous

"The Maculan 2019 Fratta is a velvety and extracted interpretation with black fruit flavors, spice, woodsmoke and campfire ash. There is a note of cherry-like sweetness that is evocative of the Merlot. It pushes long over a lasting finish." Wine Advocate
