Ariana Occhipinti ‘Vino Di Contrada FL’ 2019

Grape: Frapatto

ABV: 12.5%

Vintage: 2019

Dried strawberries, tar, rose petals, red licorice, cedar and redcurrants make for a very fresh and beguiling red. Medium-bodied with lovely density on the centre palate and wonderful verve and definition.

Vino di Contrada wines come from 3 sites of one vineyard, planted with Frappato. Arianna (niece of Giusto Occhipinti of the legendary COS estate in Vittoria, south-eastern Sicily) has identified the nuances the different soil compositions and exposure can bring to her wines, resulting in 3 different bottlings, from soft and silky to more robust and intense.
