Winery
Azienda Agricola Arianna Occhipinti is a Sicilian estate near Vittoria. Owner-winemaker Arianna Occhipinti is well-known as a key proponent of the natural wine movement, and has had a meteoric rise to prominence since her first vintage was released in 2006, when she was still only 24 years old.
The estate consists of 22 hectares (54 acres) of vineyards planted to Nero d'Avola and Frappato, and 1.5ha (4 acres) of Albanello and Zibbibo (Muscat of Alexandria). The vineyards are not all certified organic, but are farmed without pesticides, fungicides, herbicides and chemical or synthetic fertilizers.
The winery was constructed in 2012 following the purchase of an old farmhouse with an extra 7ha of vines. It has allowed Occhipinti to move from fermenting and aging the principal red wines in stainless steel and fibreglass to gravity-fed concrete tanks.
This rich red wine is made from 100% Nero d'Avola in Sicily (Italy). It's an elegant and persuasive wine with a touch of grittiness due to its 24 months of aging in Austrian oak barrels and an additional 2 months in the bottle. On the nose, it's a wine that impresses with its complexity: plum, blackberry, currant, tobacco, licorice, and myrtle. On the palate, it expresses its utmost elegance. The body and its long, intense finish make this Siccagno wine from Arianna Occhipinti a perfect pairing with braised red meats. Available for deliveries within Metro Manila.
