Tasting profile
Structure: light-bodied, low tannin, high acidity, dry
Arianna Occhipinti's Frappato from her organically farmed vineyards near Vittoria in south-east Sicily, fermented with native yeasts and raised in large old casks. It shows what this pale, perfumed grape can do: wild strawberry, pomegranate and red cherry with blood orange, white pepper and Mediterranean herbs, a light, silky body, little tannin and bright acidity. A benchmark of Sicily's natural-wine movement, delicious lightly chilled.
