We are in Victoria, south of Monti Iblei and about 10 km from the sea, it was here that a "star" of natural wine that has been awarded the "Triple A: Farmers, Artisans, Artists". There are three "V" that characterize the lives of Arianna Occhipinti, a young agricultural entrepreneur who after studying enology in Milan, decided to return to his homeland, Sicily. Vittoria, Wine and Vineyard. Three simple words that Arianna has been able to combine excellence in transforming the area. It's always Arianna to say that "the natural approach is not an end but a means, the only way to produce a wine of the territory". A very intelligent woman, with a passion for wine as it was done once, which has gained step by step the confidence of the general public doing rediscover the peculiarities of his land, without disturb or alter it in its aspect of origin. The Frappato by Arianna Occhipinti is a dream come true, is the most perfect wine for transposition into what Arianna thinks, what he believes Arianna, what Arianna wants. It'a wine sometimes difficult, sometimes blood, sometimes tough and gruff, but always elegant and charming nonetheless. Frappato Arianna aged for 14 months in Slavonia oak barrels and 2 months in the bottle, but it is not filtered, the palate is fleshy, juicy, sun, and fresh with a pleasant mineral finish. Frappato is flowers, herbs and tobacco. Frappato is Arianna. Frappato is Vittoria.
