Arianna Occhipinti was 24 and pouring her first vintage at a wine fair when the world caught on; two decades later the formula is still stubbornly simple. Organic farming on Sicilian sand and chalk, forty-year-old vines, indigenous yeasts, and a thirty-day maceration. An even split of Frappato and Nero d'Avola, aged 32 months in big Slavonian casks, so the oak is a room the wine sits in rather than a flavor it wears: bright red fruit, chalky grip on the mid-palate, tannin with sand in it. Minimal sulfur, maximum nerve.

About the Producer

Thank you to importer Louis/Dressner for thie profile of Occhipinti: (Click here for more on Occhipinti from Louis/Dressner and here for Occhipinti's website) In 2006, Joe and Kevin fell in love with the wines of an unassuming 24 year old showing her first vintage at an Italian wine fair. Today, Arianna Occhipinti has become a seminal figure for a new generation of wine lovers. Her rise to prominence has been meteoric, and rightfully so: anyone who has ever met Ari will instantly vouch for her charming personality and seemingly boundless energy.
