It is the most immediate red in the range and one of the clearest introductions to her style: bright fruit, low extraction, freshness and the natural fragrance of Frappato supported by the darker structure of Nero d’Avola.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2024 is a blend of 70% Frappato and 30% Nero d’Avola, grown at around 280 metres above sea level on calcareous, sandy soils. The vineyards are farmed biodynamically and are certified organic, with no chemical intervention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts, followed by 15 days of maceration on the skins. The wine then ages for 6 months in concrete tanks and a further month in bottle, with no filtration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRed cherry, wild strawberry and raspberry lead the nose, followed by violet, dried herbs, black pepper and a light earthy note. The palate is juicy and energetic, with fine tannins, bright acidity and a savoury finish that keeps the wine light on its feet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e100% Organic \u0026amp; Biodynamic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSP68 is designed for early drinking, but it isn't a simple wine. Frappato gives perfume and lift, while Nero d’Avola adds enough depth and grip to make it work well at the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoast chicken, pork cutlets and other light preparations, tomato-based or mushroom pasta or semi-aged cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServe: 12–14 °C; a light chill works well.\u003cbr\u003eDrink: 2026–2030\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Occhipinti","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48323280404631,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/2899\/5223\/files\/sp6824.png?v=1790399510","url":"https:\/\/bricchiandbarrett.com.au\/products\/2024-occhipinti-sp68-rosso-terre-siciliane","provider":"Bricchi and Barrett","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
