Decanter
Review Date: 12/2024This fresh and youthful red – a blend of 70% Frappato and 30% Nero d'Avola – offers up some sweet and creamy red and black berries, with some touches of herbs and fragrant spice, A streak of black cherry emerges, then a nice dollop of acidity. It's not at all heavy, showing lovely balance, and it makes for a very appealing red for sharing with friends over a platter of antipasti. (JB)

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.
