This project was created through Arianna Occhipinti’s observation of her land, noticing that certain parcels produce unique wines and showcase their distinctive terroirs. The PT wine stands for “Pettineo,” a term used to refer to a small parcel in the Sicilian countryside that produces fruit-driven, lively wines with plenty of acidity.

From the importer: PT (Pettineo). A few miles away from Bombolieri and Fossa di Lupo, the 0.9-hectare 'Pettineo plot features the oldest Frappato vines (60+ years) in all of Vittoria. They grow on 70 cm of fine orange sand over tufa (a porous limestone) and are a mix of alberello and guyot training. This site is the first of the three to be harvested. Arianna finds a forward fruitiness and fine, smooth tannins in this wine.
