Lamoresca, Frappato Nerocapitano 2025

Why we love this bottle

Filippo Rizzo grew up in Sicily but lived in Brussels for years. There he ran one of the very first natural wine restaurants. In the early 2000s he went home and started his own estate, Lamoresca, high in the hills between Etna and Vittoria. He works organically, picks everything by hand and keeps the wine as pure as possible. We love it because this Sicilian bottle has a surprisingly Belgian story.

Frappato is a local Sicilian grape that gives light, fragrant red wine. Nerocapitano is not a made up name. It is what they call Frappato in the local dialect. Strawberry, cherry and a floral scent. Light, juicy and fresh. Put it in the fridge for a moment and taste a piece of Sicily with Brussels roots.
