2021 Azienda Agricola Ariana Occhipinti Frappato IGT Terre Siciliane Vino di Contrada 'BB', Sicily, Italy Giuseppe Mascarello rodriguez is farmed organically andBB (Bombolieri): This home parcel is adjacent to the winery and the last of the three to be harvested. It consists of a few rows of 25 year old, bush trained (aka alberello) vines on a scant 25 centimeters of sandy white topsoil over pure limestone rock with almost no clay. The limestone holds water, slows down ripening and contributes a firm acidity and structure. Arianna finds it to be the most austere of the trio.
