The estate is about 15 km from the Mediterranean with the vineyards planted at 250 metres above sea level. The vineyard is planted to Frappato & Nero d’Avola and is run on bio-dynamic principles and all fruit is hand harvested.

The winemaking process is natural with wild yeast fermentation, no temperature control, no fining, no filtration and only minimal sulphur additions at bottling.

The style of Occhipinti is fresh and pure with incredibly cool fruit. The wines are delicate yet full flavoured and glide across the palate, making these some of the most sought-after wines coming out of Sicily.
