Juicy, fragrant Sicilian red from a natural wine icon

Named after the country road that passes Arianna Occhipinti’s home and original vineyard, SP68 Rosso is a vibrant blend of 70% Frappato and 30% Nero d’Avola. The certified-organic vines grow at 280 metres in the calcareous sands surrounding Vittoria, where they are farmed biodynamically without chemical intervention.

The fruit is co-fermented with indigenous yeasts and spends 15 days on skins before maturing for six months in concrete. Bottled without filtration, it is a pure and wonderfully energetic expression of southern Sicily.

Wild strawberry, dark cherry and blackberry meet violets, dried herbs and peppery spice. The palate is succulent and medium-bodied, with crunchy fruit, fine sandy tannins and lively acidity carrying a savoury, saline thread through the long finish. Bright, expressive and dangerously drinkable, especially with a light chill.

Why we love it

Juicy and immediately charming, but with enough savoury detail, mineral tension and fine tannin to keep every glass interesting.

About the Wine

Nero D’Avola and Frappato blend. Dark fruit and bright cherry dazzle together for a smashable and thought provoking Sicilian wine.

About the Winemaker
Arianna Occhipinti has been championing traditional Sicilian grape varietals since she was sixteen, when she fell in love with her uncle cellar and his traditional winemaking techniques. Fast forward a few years and at 22 she underwent her first vintage.

Since her first vintage in 2004 Arianna Occhipinti has gone on to produce beautiful wines that speak truly of Sicily and has in turn become wine of the most sought after winemakers in Sicily.
