Description
Everyone Remembers Their First Frappato. You don’t need to have heard of it, or know that it’s famed as Sicily’s most ethereal red grape -- you just need to be a sentient human, capable of experiencing pleasures both visceral and aesthetic. (Yes, aesthetic! Look at that color!) Starting here is like starting at the top: Arianna Occhipinti is the undisputed rockstar of Sicily's Vittoria appellation, and one of the most important producers in Italy. Wild strawberries, dried currants, roses, orange peel, hints of leather, and a body that veers between light and medium, sometimes in the same taste. Tangy, crisp, mineral, deep and beguiling. (It might not make up for the whole pandemic, but it'll try!)
