Tasting note from from 10.12.2021, Copyright Sebastian Bordthäuser

This pure Frappato comes from the Contrada Pettineo. This historic Contrada lies behind the ridge of the Serra San Bartolo and always produces highly elegant wines Thanks to the deep layer of sea sand of a good 50-60 cm above the limestone base, the 60-year-old vines produce fruit-driven wines with a vibrating acid structure and immense length. Originally planted in Albarello, the previous owner converted the plant to espalier, which does not stop Occhipinti from letting them grow upwards between the canes for adapted foliage wall management. In the hot and windy climate of southern Sicily, Arianna Occhipinti works without irrigation, but with seedings such as fava beans and other crops. They protect the soil and the vines, which have been propagated from old genetics with the Massale selection. They work exclusively with gravity and there is no new wood, only used containers. Occhipinti abandons the DOC classification in favour of a fresher varietal expression and markets their site wines as IGT Terre Siciliane. The average production is only 2700 bottles.

Color

Transparent, dark ruby red.

Nose

The 2019 Vino di Contrada "PT" Pettineo from Arianna Occhipinti is open-hearted and accessible on the nose with fully ripe dark fruit, black cherries, blackberries and mulberries, plus plums and distinctive spicy notes such as light tobacco and mild spices. Of the 3 red Contrada wines, it always seems the most accessible in its youth, which should not obscure the view into the future Great things are also slumbering here!

Mouth

The Pettineo has the slightest straddle between a fully ripe juicy and fruit-driven nose and corresponding juice and concentration on the palate. It sets the new Sicilian red wine for novices to music in the glass as a full soundtrack The fully ripe, dark fruit shines on the nose and keeps the nose's promise of rich black cherry and dark extract. Nevertheless, the chalky minerality of the Pettineo always vibrates in the background like a medium-sublime bass in 90s West Coast rap. Rich fruit meets fresh beats aka acidic nerve, which orchestrates the overall performance on the palate into a brilliant whole.
