Arianna Occhipinti Il Frappato 2024

Arianna Occhipinti Il Frappato 2024 is a beautifully expressive Sicilian red that captures the essence of Vittoria and the Iblei Mountains in a glass. Elegant, vivid and unmistakably original, it reflects Occhipinti’s artisanal approach and her deep connection to the land, with Frappato’s fresh, bright character given a deeply personal voice.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a luminous blood-red hue, hinting at its delicacy and energy. The nose is lifted and refined, with aromas that feel fresh, floral and red-fruited, carrying the sense of warm air, wild herbs and the Sicilian landscape. On the palate, it is lively and finely textured, with a vibrant acidity that keeps the wine focused and mouthwatering. The style is graceful rather than heavy, with an elegant, slightly rebellious edge and a persistent freshness that suggests good short- to medium-term aging potential.

Production
Made from Frappato grown in Sicily’s Vittoria area, the wine is shaped by the region’s distinctive terroir and the influence of the Iblei Mountains. Arianna Occhipinti is known for working with a natural, hands-on philosophy that aims to express place with clarity, and Il Frappato follows that path with careful vineyard work and a vinification approach designed to preserve purity, lift and the grape’s intrinsic character.

Food & Serving
This is a versatile red that works especially well with roasted poultry, grilled tuna, charcuterie, mushroom dishes and Sicilian-inspired fare. Serve slightly cool, around 14–16°C, and decanting is optional but can help the wine open up if enjoyed very young.

Producer
Arianna Occhipinti is one of Sicily’s most influential modern producers, celebrated for her commitment to authenticity, low-intervention winemaking and the character of local varieties. Based in Vittoria, she has helped bring renewed attention to Frappato and other indigenous grapes, earning a strong reputation both in Italy and internationally for wines with personality, precision and a clear sense of place.
