Wine of the Week: A Grand Lady of Sicily

It's not often you get to meet true trailblazers, people who break new ground and lay the foundation for a new understanding of what lies ahead. The maker of this weeks wine is one of those persons.

Arianna Occhipinti is Italy's uncrowned queen of natural wine. Her fresh take on sicilian winemaking have made her a star in her own country and all over the world. Along with Luca Roagna she is also the representative of the next generation of winemakers in Italy and they are truly breaking new ground. Her wines are so natural and fresh and extremely drinkable. 
We had the great pleasure of visiting her this autumn and will be presenting her and more of her wines soon so watch this space

Tasting notes:

Occhipinti SP 68 Nero d'Avola e Frappato 2017​ - 229,90 Kr

​Dark, red with purple hue at the edges. Very fresh, with hints of herbs, flowers and red berries on the bouquet. In the mouth the freshness continues with hints of blueberries, red berries from the forrest and with a good structure. A wine that is very drinkable now but can also lie for a few years. Try it with the seasonal lamb if you want to pair it with food.
