Tasting Note:
The name ‘SP68’ refers to the main road which runs by the Occhipinti winery in Vittoria. It is emblematic of the area and seems only fitting to grace the label of Arianna’s ‘village’ wine. Biodynamically grown, this is a blend of predominantly Frappato with a touch of Nero d’Avola to add spice and body. It is a vivid wine, plush, and silky, with juicy notes of sour cherry, cranberry, crunchy red fruit, and dark fruit compote - distinctively Sicilian! Arianna is a reference in Sicily. Her amazing work in the vineyard blends with a huge biodiversity. Her wines are fresh, precise, and pure. Arianna is a role model of viticulturist with tenacity and energy. This is her village wine, made with Vittoria’s red local varieties Frappato and Nero d’Avola
