SP68 Rosso by Arianna Occhipinti is made from 70% Frappato and 30% Nero d’Avola grapes cultivated in the Vittoria area, in the province of Ragusa. The vines, with an average age of 15 years, grow on sandy-limestone soils at an altitude of about 280 meters above sea level. Harvesting took place between the last week of September and the first ten days of October. Fermentation occurred spontaneously with indigenous yeasts, and the must remained in contact with the skins for 15 days. The wine was not filtered. Before release, SP68 Rosso aged for 6 months in concrete vats, followed by one month in bottle.

SP68 Rosso Terre Siciliane – Arianna Occhipinti: Tasting Notes

SP68 Rosso shows an intense ruby red color. On the nose, aromas of wild berries intertwine with hints of aromatic herbs and subtle dark spices. On the palate, it is soft and well-balanced, supported by smooth tannins and a pleasant fruity-spicy profile. The finish is long and persistent. It pairs well with cured meats, semi-aged cheeses, and savory meat-based dishes, both red and white.
