Description
Occhipinti SP68 red is not only a wine, but also a representation of a road, symbolising a young, fresh and pleasant wine. This wine captures the taste of the sun and the freshness of the land of Sicily. It is classified as TERRE SICILIANE IGT and comes from vineyards located at 280 metres above sea level.
Winemaking
The grape varieties used for SP68 red are: 70% Frappato and 30% Nero D'Avola. These grapes grow on medium density soils, composed of red sands and chalk coming from sub-apennine limestone rocks. The agriculture practised is organic, without chemical intervention, and the vines have an average age of 15 years.
The grapes are harvested in the last week of September and the first ten days of October. Fermentation is carried out with indigenous yeasts and a 15-day maceration of the skins. Finally, the wine is aged for 6 months in concrete tanks and 1 month in the bottle without filtration.
Taste
Occhipinti SP68 red presents a ruby colour with garnet tones in the glass. The nose is fresh with notes of red fruits such as strawberries and wild blackberries. Floral notes, clove and a mineral touch are also perceived. Despite being aromatic, it is not excessively complex. On the palate it has medium-high acidity with soft tannins, a medium length and a short finish that leaves an aftertaste of overripe fruit and slightly olive. Some compare it to a Pinot Noir from Burgundy but with a volcanic nuance, and although it needs to refine its structure a little, it is a wine that stands out for its originality.
