Occhipinti 2023 Frappato IGT Terre Siciliane

This is an elegant Frappato that expanded and redifined our entire understanding of what a Frappato from Sicily could acheive when Arianna first started producing it as a sinle varietal wine in 2006. From two different parcels, with vines averaging around 50 years-old, the fruit is typically destemmed and fermented in concrete, with a long, careful 30 day maceration. Aged for an average of 8 months in Slovenian oak botti before moving to concrete for another 8 months the wine is bottled unfiltered. This wine needs some time in the bottle or a couple of hours open if you can't wait 5-10 years!
