Solco

“Talking about Frappato is like talking about love” “But you’re still talking about love?” “Yes.” “Yes, it’s the love that flows in your veins, rebellious when it infuriates you, romantic, tactile yet hidden”

What is Solco? It is neither a magazine,
a journal, nor a book. Even less is it
our house organ. Solco is a project,
transcribed on paper. It is the fruit of a
need to assess the state of the art.
Of making wine. Of a specific wine, Frappato
di Vittoria. And yet more than that. Twenty
years ago, Arianna Occhipinti took her
first step on the path of working with a
vineyard, making wine, and building her own
winery. And for those same twenty years,
the world of winegrowing has undergone a
revolution—a brand-new way of carrying out,
and conceiving, this centuries-old art.
Solco, in brief, serves as a vehicle for
reflecting on that world. Natural wines?
Pure wines? A trend? A lifestyle?
The questions are endless. Solco serves
as the perfect platform for raising and
discussing them: its purpose, though,
is not so much to provide answers as to
stimulate reflection and exchange. “Solco”,
or furrow, is an incisive feature of
agriculture, but it can also be understood
as a pathway that leads on forever.
This is our spirit. Our concept. Solco.
