Has the most ethereal nose in the line-up, mixing Chambolle-like redcurrants, dusty florals and incense with unmistakably Mediterranean aromas of garrigue and tapenade. Showing the same emphasis on drinkability and purity of fruit of the entry-level Frappato, the tannins are slightly racier and the aromatics even more changeling. Blood orange and iron linger on the long, mineral-inflected finish. Sourced from 60-year-old vineyards planted on a mix of red sands and yellow tufa in Contrada Pettineo, 'PT' epitomises gracefulness and airiness according to Arianna Occhipinti. (RM)

Frappato grapes from Pettineo single vineyard benefit from old contrada conditions to produce wines that are both more complex and structured because of the sandy soils. The wine features deep red fruit and earthy flavors which blend with spicy notes and firm tannins and saltiness. Among her most outstanding releases the wine offers a contemplative Frappato experience.
