Occhipinti, Cerasuolo di Vittoria Riserva 'Grotte Alte' 2018

Arianna Occhipinti is Sicily’s most exciting winemaker. Using only native grape varieties, Arianna makes wines that are lively and nuanced, like Barolo or Burgundy with a natural, slightly rustic side. Her wines are constantly evolving and endlessly compelling.

Like the SP68, this is a blend of frappato and nero d’avola. However, older vines and longer aging lead to a deeper, more concentrated wine. This is the top-end of Arianna’s bottlings, and one of the best reds being made in Sicily today.
