From the wine maker:

"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."

From forty year old Frappato vines planted in the Terre Siciliane area of Sicily at an elevation of 280 meters above sea level. All of Arianna Occhipinti's wines are a joy to drink as their lively acidity simply refreshes the palate. Frappato, though, is about red fruit character, floral fruits and is all around delicious. Lifted and fresh while maintaining fine structure, perfect balance and a prominent jouissance.
