Occhipinti SP68 Rosso 2022

Taking its name from the road near Arianna Occhipinti's vineyard in Vittoria, the SP68 rosso emerges as a blend of 70% Frappato and 30% Nera d'Avola from the estate's youthful vines. This red wine serves as a fitting initiation into the distinctive qualities of Occhipinti's creations: it embodies transparency and terroir-driven characteristics, underscored by a vibrant acidity that refreshes the palate. In this vintage, the aromatic profile is pronounced, featuring ripe red cherries, dark plum, and stewed blackberries, set against a backdrop of violets, dried roses, and nasturtium. The acidity imparts a medium-bodied, juicy texture with minimal dusty tannins, concluding with a smoky, slightly spicy note. Its allure is reminiscent of Beaujolais, yet it retains a Sicilian essence from start to finish.
