Few winemakers have changed how we think about Sicilian wine quite like Arianna Occhipinti. She started young, learning in her uncle’s cellar at COS before taking over a single hectare of abandoned vines near her family’s home in Vittoria. From there, she built a winery that helped redefine the island’s reputation. Il Frappato is her signature — light in color, but never in character. Grown on sandy soils and fermented with native yeasts, it’s bright and savory, full of red fruit, herbs, and that subtle earthiness that makes Occhipinti’s wines unmistakable. A wine that tastes like Sicily without the heat.
