2021 Azienda Agricola Ariana Occhipinti Frappato IGT Terre Siciliane Vino di Contrada 'PT', Sicily, Italy Jess Miller It's a bit naughtyPT (Pettineo). A few miles away from Bombolieri and Fossa di Lupo, the 0. 9 hectare 'Pettineo plot features the oldest Frappato vines (60+ years) in all of Vittoria. They grow on 70 cm of fine orange sand over tufa (a porous limestone) and are a mix of alberello and guyot training. This site is the first of the three to be harvested. Arianna finds a forward fruitiness and fine, smooth tannins in this wine.
