Long known as a blending grape, Frappato, in the hand of Arianna Occhipinti, is an extraordinary wine. Light in colour yet remarkable in complexity. Lifted perfume of rose petals, musk, with notes of cherry, raspberry and white pepper. With silky fine boned tannins, this wine shows cool climate characteristics in Sicily. 
Macerated for 30 days on skins and aged for 14 months is large Slavonian oak.
“Il Frappato stems from a dream which I had when I was a girl to make a wine that knows the land that I work, the air I breath, and my own thoughts. It is bitter, bloody and elegant. That is Vittoria and the Iblei Mountains. It is the wine that most resembles me, brave, original and rebellious. But not only. It has peasant origins, for this it loves its roots and the past that it brings in; but, at the same time, it is able to fight to improve itself. It knows refinement without forgetting itself.” Ariana Occhipinti.
