2022 Arianna Occhipinti "Il Frappato" Terre Siciliane
94
James Suckling
A succulent, precise, bright and lively frappato. The nose shows notes of forest berries, sour cherries, forest floor, pebbles and mild spices. It’s light- to medium-bodied with silky tannins. Polished and vivid with bright acidity. It’s agile, with so much succulence at the center. Mouthwatering and long. Drink or hold.
