2021 Il Frappato, Occhipinti, Sicily

"Arianna's Frappato is probably her most iconic wine, born out of a dream she had as a girl to produce a wine that resembled the Iblei mountains and Vittoria, but also herself. It is a wine that is wonderfully floral and exhibits redcurrants, sour cherries, crushed raspberries as well as hints of herbal and graphite. The tannins are powdery and fine and the palate is beautifully silky. "

Tasting notes

Showing lots of varietal character, the 2021 Il Frappato reveals dusty red stone, wild berry and a hint of sweet apricot. The wine is firm and tense, yet it also manages an absolutely weightless approach that makes it so easy and fun to drink. It embraces a contemporary style that would pair with the healthy foods we want to eat today, with lots of vegetables and white meats.
