Occhipinti Frappato
ITALY: SOUTH-ISLANDS - SICILY RED
Size750MLVintage2020SKU17216
Good bright medium red. Wild red berries, sour red cherry, violet and sweet spices on the nose, plus hints of blood orange and savory earthy scents. Bright and juicy on entry, then tougher and concentrated in the middle, showing less floral lift and more fleshiness than is usual with frappato. Finishes long and full, with strong iron and saline traces. Very well done: give this highly promising Frappato at least two years of cellaring for optimal drinking. Vinous-91
