The 2023 Rosso SP68 is pretty and perfumed, with a blend of crushed roses and violets accentuating blackberries, white smoke and wet stones. It washes across the palate with a liquid floral concentration and tart wild berry fruits, all guided by a core of brisk acidity. The 2023 leaves the mouth salivating as a tart cranberry crunchiness resonates and hints of blood orange slowly fade. (EG)

Her breakthrough wine established her reputation in the wine industry. This wine comes from natural fermentation of Frappato and Nero d'Avola grapes that then age in concrete containers. The wine offers notes of red berries, savory tomato leaves, dried flowers, and baking spice flavors together with peppery notes and a mineral foundation. This Sicilian red wine offers Mediterranean rhythms without weight, while presenting a light yet ethereal character

Notes

The SP68 Rosso is a vibrant blend of Frappato and Nero d'Avola from Sicily’s Vittoria region, made with organic and biodynamic principles by Arianna Occhipinti, a leading figure in natural winemaking. Named after the ancient road that passes by her vineyards, the SP68 Rosso is fresh, approachable, and elegant, embodying the energy and spirit of Sicily. On the nose, it offers aromas of red cherry, wild berries, and rose petals, with hints of earth, herbs, and spice. The palate is medium-bodied with juicy acidity, showcasing flavors of raspberry, plum, and a touch of minerality. The tannins are soft, leading to a clean, vibrant finish. The SP68 Rosso is a lively and aromatic wine that perfectly reflects the character of Sicily’s native grapes. With its fresh, juicy profile and light touch, it’s a delightful and versatile red for any occasion.
