93 points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "The Arianna Occhipinti 2020 Frappato Vino di Contrada FL has a more delicate style with wild rose and floral aromas that rise delicately from the glass. On the back of those, you get earthy tones, baked eggplant skin and light hints of toasted fennel seed. The wine is tart and fresh to the palate, with macerated aromas as well. This is a bit more wild of the three contrada wines in the series. Fruit comes from the Contrada Fossa di Lupo, with reddish and dark brown soils. Drink 2023-2030 (Jun 2023)."

Frappato “FL” comes from sapling vines of the ancient Fossa di Lupo district, in front of the Iblei Mountains. The olfactory stamp is graceful and refined, mainly reminiscent of red fruit, Mediterranean spices, roses and sea. The taste is very fine, delicate and pleasant, with an elegant freshnes Alcoholic fermentation with indigenous yeast in cement tanks with contact with the skins. Aged some months in large, old oak barrels.
