Occhipinti SP68 Rosso 2023

Arianna Occhipinti's SP68 Rosso is a vibrant, natural red wine from Sicily, blending 70% Frappato and 30% Nero d'Avola grapes. Named after the Strada Provinciale 68 that runs past her estate in Vittoria, this wine reflects the region's terroir with its fresh and delicate character. The grapes are organically and biodynamically farmed on calcareous sub-Apennine sandy soils. Hand-harvested grapes undergo spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts in concrete vats, with a 15-day maceration period. The wine is then aged for six months in concrete tanks and one month in the bottle without filtration. The result is a light-to-medium-bodied wine with bright red fruit aromas, floral notes, and a hint of spice, offering a true expression of the Sicilian landscape.
