2020 Il Frappato, Occhipinti, Sicily

Arianna's dream was to make the Frappato, a wine that tastes like the land I work'. 100% Frappato, the wine spends 14 months in large Slavonian oak which doesn't impart oak but a breadth and openness. Raspberries,wild strawberries, pomegranate and red plums are supported by dry red fruits and smoke.

Tasting notes

Aromas of suede, dried rose and dried strawberry. Medium-bodied with slightly firm tannins. Linear on the palate and rather pretty, fresh and long. Drink or hold.
