Occhipinti SP68 Bianco 2022

Occhipinti SP68 Bianco 2022

The name of a road, for a wine which is a journey. That of the farmers who already three thousand years ago left from the country with the amphorae, and then the casks, and inside the fruit of their labor., fatigue, joy, even the smell of the soil. The journey of the farmers, even today headed for their vineyard, amongst meetings and works exchanged, under the Iblei  clear sky.

A blend of 2 native grape varieties, 60% Zibibbo (known as the Muscat of Alexandria)  & 40% Albanello, grown on vines averaging 15 years on red sandy soil over limestone rocks. Hand harvested and organically farmed, the fruit is hand picked, destemmed and fermented together using only natural yeast in concrete tanks with no temperature control.

Critical Acclaim

90 Vinous

Pungent florals, ground ginger and grapefruit form a zesty bouquet as the 2022 Bianco SP68 opens in the glass. It’s soft and round. Juicy acidity and tropical citrus tones enliven its tart orchard fruits. This finishes surprisingly long, leaving exotic inner florals and sour melon notes to fade slowly. What a treat. The SP68 Bianco is a blend of Albana and Zibibbo. Drink: 2023-2026.
