Description
Occhipinti Vino di Contrada Fossa di Lupo is more than a wine; it is a bottled piece of Sicily. Made by the passionate Arianna Occhipinti, this wine is a declaration of love to her land and to the Frappato di Vittoria variety, the sole protagonist of this creation. If you have never tasted a Frappato, this could be the beginning of a love affair.
The vineyards of Occhipinti Vino di Contrada Fossa di Lupo extend in Contrada Fossa di Lupo, a historic enclave where the vines take root in sandy soils with a limestone base that leaves its mark on every sip. The red and brown sand, together with the calcareous rock that lies beneath it, give the wine its particular character: a vibrant freshness and natural elegance.
Winemaking
The winemaking process follows a leisurely, unhurried pace. The grapes ferment on their skins for 30 days, a process that extracts the full essence of the Frappato. Occhipinti Vino di Contrada Fossa di Lupo then rests for 14 months in Slovenian oak vats, where it gains structure without losing its lightness. No filtration or artifice, just patience and respect for the raw material.
Taste
From the very first moment, Occhipinti Vino di Contrada Fossa di Lupo envelops you with its aroma: juicy cherry, fresh pomegranate and a touch of wild rose. It is a subtle but irresistible perfume, like when you walk through a garden after the rain and everything smells more alive.
On the palate, the story continues. The freshness of the fruit is balanced by a playful acidity, while the minerality brings a slight saline touch that makes it even more addictive. Occhipinti Vino di Contrada Fossa di Lupo is a wine that does not seek to impose itself, but to seduce you little by little. Ideal to accompany a good chat, a table full of friends and, why not, an evening where time seems to stand still.
