Frappato Contrada Pettineo 2019 Arianna Occhipinti
Frappato, a grape variety native to Vittoria, is a grape that Arianna Occhipinti has always been attached to, right from the start of her adventure as a producer. For her, wine is not an end, but a means through which a territory speaks of itself: of the land, the climate, the people who inhabit it. Nothing exists in isolation, everything is part of a natural system whose balance must be respected in order to obtain results.
The Frappato PT Contrada Pettineo 2019 is part of the range called "Contrada Wines", dedicated to this grape variety in purity from 3 different districts, reflecting all its personality and characteristics. The soil in this area is characterised by a deep layer of sand of marine origin, which gives the wine great elegance, fruit, silky tannin and considerable acidity.
It ferments spontaneously in cement vats on its skins and matures for several months in used oak barrels. Arianna Occhipinti's 2019 Frappato PT Contrada Pettineo expresses an intense ruby red colour; the nose gives us aromas of ripe fruit, sweet spices and Mediterranean herbs, for an elegant sip, with silky tannin and a fine balance between freshness and softness.
