Review Date: 12/2025Vibrant and layered with seductive depth, showing blood oranges, wild strawberries, cinnamon and violet candy. Medium- to full-bodied, it shines with tension, offering youthful, chalky yet ripe tannins and a long, chewy finish. (AF)

Notes
The 2023 Arianna Occhipinti "Cuvée 20°" Frappato is a celebratory blend of her three top vineyard sites—Fossa di Lupo, Bombolieri, and Pettineo—marking her 20th vintage. The nose is highly fragrant with red cherry, pomegranate, and red rose, underlined by an iodized sea-salt character. The palate is light-footed but structured, balancing vibrant berry fruit with silky tannins and a savory, mineral finish of Mediterranean herbs. It is a refined, complex "summary" of her winemaking history.
