Arianna Occhipinti Description
"SP68" Bianco by Arianna Occhipinti is a natural, organic blend of Albanello and Zibibbo from Sicily, named after the road that runs through the vineyards in Vittoria. This white wine embodies the brightness and character of Sicily’s indigenous grapes. Fermented naturally, it offers a fresh, vibrant profile with minimal intervention, allowing the terroir to shine. On the nose, expect aromas of white peach, lemon zest, and orange blossom, along with subtle herbal and mineral notes. The palate is crisp and lively, with flavors of citrus, pear, and a hint of saline minerality, finishing with a clean, refreshing touch. Arianna Occhipinti’s "SP68" Bianco is a beautifully refreshing and aromatic wine, offering a taste of Sicily’s vibrant winemaking tradition through the lens of natural production. It’s ideal for those seeking an expressive and fresh white wine with character.
Vinous: 90 Points
The 2023 Bianco SP68 is distinctly savory, as wild herbs and wet concrete give way to crushed nectarines. This is soothingly round and supple with a spicy tinge of ginger up front, leading to tart orchard fruits and a cascade of salty minerals. The 2023 finishes vividly fresh yet still potent, leaving hints of green melon and lime zest that linger on and on. Allow the Bianco SP68 some time to open in the bottle to express its aromatics properly.
