Occhipinti 'Il Frappato' Sicilia, 2024 (750ml) madiran with flavors of sweet mandarinThis wine is made of 100% Frappato. A lovely wine, with flavor notes of maine blueberry and tomato leaf aromatics. The wine's soft yet unwavering presence would make for a great pairing with spaghetti all'amatriciana. The grapes for this wine are from two different estate parcels of vines averaging around 40 years old. These sites are at a higher altitude and harvested later than other Frappato used for other bottlings. Winemaker Arianna Occhipinti
