Il Frappato IGT Sicilia 2022 1500ml Magnum

Wine description for Il Frappato IGT Sicilia 2022 1500ml Magnum from Occhipinti

Colour & appearance

Bright ruby red with violet reflections, transparent and brilliant in the glass - a visual invitation to Sicilian lightness.

Nose

An seductive bouquet of red cherries, raspberries and pomegranate, underlaid with Mediterranean herbal notes. Fine hints of rose petals and a subtle mineral flavour reveal the volcanic origin. The fragrance transports the sun-kissed landscape of Sicily directly into the glass.

Palate

The true brilliance of Frappato is revealed on the palate - light-footed and yet remarkably structured. The lively acidity dances elegantly with the silky tannins. Notes of red forest berries, sour cherries and a subtle clove unfold in waves. The moderate alcohol content of 12.5% emphasises the finesse of this wine, which finishes with impressive length and a mineral aftertaste.

General information

Arianna Occhipinti's Il Frappato epitomises the renaissance of Sicilian wine culture. The biodynamically cultivated vineyards near Vittoria, at the foot of the Iblei mountains, offer the perfect terroir for this indigenous grape variety with their calcareous soils. The magnum bottle (1500ml) allows this 2022 vintage to develop particularly harmoniously and emphasises the special character of this wine.

Food pairing suggestions

The versatility of this Frappato makes it the ideal accompaniment to Mediterranean cuisine. Excellent with grilled tuna, Pasta with anchovies or Sicilian caponata. Also to lightly flavoured lamb dishes and semi-matured pecorino a revelation. Serve slightly chilled at 14-16°C.
