SP68 Rosso is perhaps Arianna Occhipinti's most direct expression of soil, grape variety and philosophy. Frappato and Nero d'Avola come from organically cultivated plots on chalky and sandy soils at an altitude of 280 to 290 metres. Fermented with natural yeasts in concrete, matured for six months in cement tanks, bottled unfiltered – no intervention, no make-up, pure essence.

A medium ruby red colour with transparent depth in the glass. The aroma is clear and lively: ripe cherry, wild strawberry, dried herbs, iron and a hint of rose petals. Structured on the palate, dancing and lively, fine-grained tannins, precise acidity, animating juiciness. A wine with vigour and clarity, its energy comes from its depth, not from its weight. A high-quality "country wine" in the original sense, which not only describes its origin, but embodies it. SUPERIORE.DE

"Named after the road that runs past the winery, this wine turns the Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG recipe on its head. It consists of 70% Frappato and 30% Nero d'Avola and is vinified in concrete tanks. Vibrant aromas of dark cherries and blackberries dance with light herbal notes, while the super-juicy palate is deep, savoury and fruity, with a hint of salinity and a long finish reminiscent of juicy blood oranges." Decanter

"A restrained wine with bright and precise aromas of dark fruit, wild strawberries, peonies and leather. The palate is fresh, with austere tannins, a medium body and a crunchy structure. It’s fresh and astringent, finding balance at the end." James Suckling
