Frappato - Arianna Occhipinti
Frappato was born from a girl's dream of making a wine that tastes of the land she works, the air she breathes, and her own thoughts. It is sour, sanguine and elegant. It is a courageous, original and rebellious wine. But not only.
It has peasant origins, for this it loves its roots and the past that it brings in; but, at the same time, it is able to fight to improve itself. It knows refinement without forgetting itself.
