Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of 90 minutes. Arianna’s 2022 “Il Frappato” pours a ruby color with a transparent core; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is youthful with notes of tart red fruits: strawberry, pomegranate, subtle Eastern spices and rocky earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium. As usual, a fresh, elegant and serious expression of Frappato. Drink now through 2032. — 17 days ago

Way better on day two after opening. A lot of earth and herbs. Plums, cherry, good amount of tannin. I feel like if this was distilled it would be fernet. There’s a lot of herbs and forest greenery, but it still manages to stay light and fruity enough to make it really enjoyable. Looking forward to trying more Sicilian wines. — 3 months ago

This is a story of two wines. The first one is what I experienced the first evening I tapped the bottle through Coravin, after about 20 minutes in the glass. It opened up to a beautiful melange of red fruit, a touch of spice and an off the charts, distinctive grippy minerality. Truly beautiful. Though they come from radically different climates, it reminds me of the beautiful that Teroldegos of Foradori, or a prettier Hugh end Beaujolais Cru.But it’s so hard to catch it right. Between the whiff of funk at the start, the closed off moments and the drop in quality on day 2 (24h after Coravin!) it’s always a good wine but so much fragility to catch it as its peak — 4 months ago

For a big winery, Planeta, in my experience, makes very good wines that reflect their terroir faithfully. This is quite earthy on the nose initially but, with air, bright raspberry/cherry fruit blossoms, along with clean minerality. Zesty and bright on the palate. Great wine for many different kinds of tomatoey pastas and for pizza. — 3 months ago
