The grapes are cultivated without chemical intervention to preserve their natural character. Fermentation takes place with native yeasts, followed by a 25-day maceration that captures vibrant aromas and fresh color. The wine then matures for 6 months in concrete tanks, followed by a further 14 months partly in Austrian oak barrels and partly in concrete tanks, before a final month of bottle aging. Il Frappato by Occhipinti impresses with bright notes of red fruit, floral, and herbaceous nuances. Light-bodied, with lively acidity and silky tannins, it offers a freshness and elegance that beautifully reflects the terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"385\" data-start=\"51\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFood recommendation\u003c\/strong\u003e : \u003cspan\u003eBraciole (Italian pork roulade) in tomato sauce, Lasagne Bolognese, Pasta 'Ncasciata with ragù aubergines and caciocavallo cheese.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Occhipinti","offers":[{"title":"2022","offer_id":55017720447353,"sku":"W-102-1220","price":33.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0762\/1184\/7481\/files\/Occhipinti_Il_Frappato_Sicilia_IGT_BIO.png?v=1766308274"},{"product_id":"tetramythos-winery-phelloe-natur-bio-2022","title":"Tetramythos Winery Phelloe Naturε BIO 2022","description":"\u003ch3 data-start=\"1527\" data-end=\"1683\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePhelloe naturε BIO 2022\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-end=\"482\" data-start=\"56\"\u003eOrganic and minimal intervention wine produced from the mountainous, ancient village of Phellόe, now known as Seliana, in eastern Aigialeia. This single-vineyard block has never been sprayed and is cultivated with a mix of Agiorgitiko, Mavro Kalavrytino, and Mavrodaphne varieties. The bushvines are planted in predominantly limestone and partly clay-rocky soils, with 30% being ungrafted (self-rooted) and hand-harvested. The wine undergoes traditional open-air, wild fermentation, with skin contact and hand-pigeage for two weeks, followed by spontaneous malolactic fermentation in old oak barrels of 9th and 10th use. It is bottled unfiltered after a year and a half of barrel aging. Only two to three barrels of wine are produced annually from the 0.3ha vineyard. The very low yields result in a deep-red wine with a velvety, structured, and concentrated mouthfeel.
