Cuvée 20 is a celebratory 20th anniversary release from Arianna Occhipinti, a blend of all three Frappato contradas (BB, FL, PT). None of these single-vineyard Frappato Vino di Contradas will be release in the 2023 vintage. Tasting Notes: Ruby red with transparent luminosity. Iris and red rose, raspberry and white mulberry, including black tea and an iodised hint of the nearby sea. On the palate: precise, sanguine, infused with lively acidity. The tannins are fine but firm and carry the final, which smells of myrtle and wild maquis and lingers like a promise.
17+/20 Walter Speller (JancisRobinson.com): "(This vintage labelled 'Ventesima Vendemmia 20a'.) Just mid crimson. Intense and with notable concentration but not fully open yet. Wild strawberry and blueberry on the nose. Bags of attractive gravelly tannins framing juicy fruit that is light but of great intensity. Very long and perfectly balanced. A bit like a rough diamond. Alcohol 12.5%. Drink: 2025-2030. (Nov 2025)"
