Wine Details / Description

Arianna Occhipinti has become one of Sicily's most influential winemakers, earning international recognition for her commitment to biodynamic farming and minimal-intervention winemaking. Working from organically farmed vineyards near Vittoria, she crafts wines that emphasize transparency, native grape varieties, and a deep connection to place. Fermentations are carried out with native yeasts, allowing each vineyard to express its unique identity.

Il Frappato is sourced from organically farmed vines rooted in limestone and sandy soils, highlighting the elegance and aromatic lift that define Sicily's native Frappato grape. The 2023 vintage captures the variety's signature freshness and finesse, balancing vibrant red fruit with savory minerality and exceptional drinkability. Light on its feet yet remarkably complex, this is a refined expression of Sicilian terroir that continues to be a benchmark for the variety.
