SP68 Terre Siciliane Nero d'Avola Frappato

Not too much of a chill lets more layers reveal-some brett, black fruited volcanic minerals. Sure, a REAL good pizza wine but can do better. Dressner imports

Somewhat effervescent. Kind of old barn smell with some awkward fruit. No finish. Pass this one by.

Enjoying less and less each vintage. Probably me.

Always a pleaser. Not a big wine, but still a really fine one. Balanced and truly well crafted in every way. And yes, we both have a crush on Arianna, but dont tell anyone.

I get the Occipinti love now, this has depth, legs, turns, & beautiful color to boot. Like a cru Morgon or similar meaty beaujo, but w an Italian soul which i dont know to quantify. Perfect foil for a Parmesan baked eggplant meal

I love this wine. It never gets old and works wonders at the table. Food friendly, easy to drink, balanced, everyone can drink it. Just needs some air to open.

A bit spritzy from the Brett but still enjoyable enough with sufficient grip and intensity to not be overpowered by barn animals. Still, I long for the unadulterated purity and splashy freshness of her frappato here.

Yum

This wine kicks ass and then some. I bought a case. You should too. Unless you have poor tastes... Drink it now. It's all about super fresh bramble fruits, flowers, and that Italian "Je ne sais quoi." It's imminently drinkable. Soft tannins, mineral, good acid, and freshness with a little spritz. Pour it btg, have fun with it.

Animal and funky with gripping tannin on a light lithe frame with cranberry flavor. Magnum bottle
