Description
Sicilian Land IGT "Vino di Contrada PT" 2019 from Domaine Arianna Occhipinti
Arianna Occhipinti has made a name for herself in the global wine sphere by placing Sicily at the centre of attention, especially in so-called "natural" wines. Arianna's career as a winemaker began quite quickly when, at the age of 16, her uncle vigneron asked her to help him. It clicked immediately and Arianna joined the oenology school in Milan to forge a solid foundation. Very quickly, however, she emancipated herself from modern oenology to produce the wines she loved deeply; i.e. wines with a minimum of inputs and interventions. At the age of 22, she signe her first vintage on her favourite Sicilian grape varieties: Nero d'Avola and Frappato. She quickly found her way to success and her wines were acclaimed for their aromatic freshness and their well-asserted identity. The vines are grown organically without synthetic products to deliver all the essence of the Sicilian grape varieties. Arianna is also committed to using certain biodynamic methods, constantly experimenting to better sublimate her Sicilian terroirs whose diversity of soils impresses. It also pushes the envelope by offering single-vineyard wines through the Vini di Contrada range that we present here. Wines with a strong identity to better rediscover the exceptional potential of Sicilian wines.
Made from a 60-year-old vine pampered by Arianna Occhipinti, this "PT" cuvée reveals a deep and fragrant bouquet of cherries, roses and dry herbs. Far from the common ideas about alcoholic and tannic Sicilian wines, this wine impresses with its tannic finesse, its velvety mouthfeel and its scent of wild strawberry, raspberry and aromatic herbs.
A magnificent terroir wine that places the Frappato grape variety in the big leagues. Produced in only 2200 bottles.
