Occhipinti Il Frappato Terre Siciliane 2024 (750ml)
Product price
Description
Frappato is Sicily's answer to those who want red wine light on its feet, a grape prized for its perfume and easy drinkability rather than weight. This bottling from Arianna Occhipinti works that varietal in the Terre Siciliane zone, a 2024 red made from Frappato on its own. Expect the bright red fruit and floral lift the grape is known for, the kind of wine that rewards a slight chill and asks little of the occasion.
Expert Reviews
Aromas of wild strawberries, sliced oranges and hints of cardamom and pepper. Light- to medium-bodied, bright and juicy, with cherry candy and hibiscus flavors lifted by vivid acidity. Firmness and a stony character add tension and structure, carrying the wine to a chewy, focused finish. Drink now or hold. (James Suckling, June 2026)
The 2024 Il Frappato is radiant in the glass as dusty sage and wet stone collide with blackberries and citrus. It's round in feel with crisp minerality and violet florals that resonate atop a saturation of spice. Gently tannic yet incredibly fresh, the 2024 finishes long and potent. On its own or with a meal, the Il Frappato is a total success. (Vinous, September 2026)
