Arianna Occhipiniti’s Vino di Contrada project was created through Arianna’s own observations of her land. She noticed certain parcels yielded very specific expressions of the Frappatto grape. BB is from the Bombolieri parcel, a plot that has a high limestone content in the soil.
From the importer: BB (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.
