Occhipinti

Occhipintis Bianco, aus gleichen Teilen Moscato und Albanello gekeltert, verströmt den Duft von Pfirsichen und Blüten und bietet einen köstlichen und nachhaltigen Geschmack mit feinen Fruchtaromen. (superiore.de)

"A dense white with sliced apple and dried lemon character. Full body, very fruit and plenty of dried fruit character." James Suckling

Die Cuvée SP68 aus Frappato und Nero d'Avola ist frisch, dynamisch, individuell und modern. Großzügige Aromen, solide strukturiert und mit mildem Tannin ausgestattet. (superiore.de)

"Dark ruby. Archetypal Frappato aromas that are pungently floral and bright, complicated by hints of dried herbs and spicy red berries. Then fresh, bright and lovely, with blackberry, raspberry and delicate herb flavors that are very complex and multilayered. Finishes long, mineral and juicy. Arianna Occhipinti has the Frappato variety nailed down and rarely makes anything but a great wine with it, so this blend comes up aces, offering a ton of flavor and only 12.5% alcohol." Ian d'Agata

"A bright and fruity red with cherry and blueberry and hints of flowers. Medium body, light tannins and a fresh finish. Lovely as always." James Suckling

Der überaus rare Il Frappato von Arianna Occhipinti ist würzig und elegant im Duft, reich an roten Beeren, dazu frisch nach Gewürzen und Blumen. Am Gaumen lebendig, schön entspannt, vibrierendes Tannin. Ein anmutiger und außergewöhnlicher Roter. (superiore.de)

"Bright red. Perfumed red cherry, minerals and fresh flowers on the captivating nose. Then rich and thick, with clean flavors of red berries and candied violet boasting noteworthy inner-mouth perfume. Finishes long and fresh, with a repeating note of violet and a hint of strawberry. This light-bodied, perfumed, lovely red is yet another in a long line of delicious Frappato wines from this producer; it’s a wine that offers a ton of flavor, bright acids and floral lift, but only 13% alcohol. Well done." Ian d'Agata

"So perfumed with roses and dried strawberry character. Full body, firm and chewy tannins and a linear, fresh finish. Always great. Best Il Frappato. Drink and enjoy." James Suckling

Muskulöser Nero d'Avola, tief dunkelrot, extraktreich und mächtig mit den Aromen getrockneter Früchte, Himbeeren und schwarzen Johannisbeeren. Ein Sizilianer, der uns mit großer Persönlichkeit und betörender Finesse lang anhaltend bezaubert. (superiore.de)

"Wild-würziger Nero d'Avola, sogar mit etwas Pferdestall. Am Gaumen köstliche Würze, dazu eine fast bitzelnde Säure und zarte, hellbeerige Fruchtnoten. Mit 13 Vol.-% ein mittlerer Körper, die Gerbstoffe sowohl rund wie fein integriert, mit Trinkfluss ohne Ende." Vinum

"Good full ruby. Deep, spicy and sweet aromas and flavors of plums and vanilla complicated by botanical herbs and flint. Peppery acids and polished tannins frame the flavors nicely on the perfumed back end, that features hints of violet and lingering salinity. Another great red from Arianna Occhipinti this year." Ian d'Agata

"What a delicious nose that explodes with blueberries but also red cherries and tons of flowers such as rose petals, not to mention Indian spices, cedar and tobacco. Full body, a very dense but velvety texture, plenty of verve and a long, crunchy finish." James Suckling

"A sensation of crushed gravel gives Siccagno a beautiful, grippy texture that supports lively flavors of red plum laced with licorice and smoke. The wine rested 22 months in large Slavonian casks, which rounded out the flavors without imparting any new oak sweetness. The flavors take on notes of bloody steak and iodine that lend a sanguine depth and suggest a match with seared ribeye." Wine&Spirits

"This unique Sicilian red has a very complex, maturing nose with a whole garden’s worth of dried herbs, plus dried cherries, candied oranges and wet earth. At once rich and deep, dry and clean, this has great energy and vitality for five years of age and the finish doesn’t want to stop." James Suckling
