The “Sicilia SP 68 Rosso IGT – 2023″ by Arianna Occhipinti is a fine blend of 70% Frappato di Vittoria and 30% Nero d’Avola. This wine shines in a bright ruby red, which underlines its youth and vitality. The aromatic profile is rich in notes of fresh red berries, particularly strawberries and raspberries, combined with a touch of Mediterranean herbs and a slight peppery note derived from the Nero d’Avola grape.

Frappato brings lightness and fruity freshness to the wine, while Nero d’Avola provides body and structure, resulting in a balanced and accessible wine. The lively acidity and soft tannins round off the drinking experience and make the wine an ideal accompaniment to a variety of dishes.

Arianna Occhipinti’s vineyards are located in the sun-drenched Sicilian countryside, on soils rich in lime and sand, resulting in distinct minerality and complexity in their wines. The climate is typically Mediterranean with hot summers and mild winters, which, together with biodynamic farming methods, helps to preserve the natural environment and the purity of the fruit.

For lovers of authentic Sicilian wines, this wine offers an excellent example of the interplay of traditional grape varieties with sustainable winemaking, reflecting Sicily’s rich cultural and natural heritage.
