Arianna Occhipinti Six-Pack: A Journey Through Vittoria
This curated six-pack offers a serious introduction to the world of Arianna Occhipinti, one of Sicily’s most distinctive and influential producers. Rather than a simple mixed case, this is a guided journey through the landscape of Vittoria, from Nero d’Avola and Cerasuolo di Vittoria to the single Contrada expressions of Frappato and Grillo.
At the centre of the case is Grotte Alte 2019, Occhipinti’s most ambitious Cerasuolo di Vittoria, a wine of depth, harmony and long ageing. Alongside it, Siccagno 2022 shows Nero d’Avola in a wilder, more elegant and deeply Sicilian form.
The three 2022 Frappato Contrade, BB Bombolieri, PT Pettineo and FL Fossa di Lupo, reveal how the same grape can change dramatically across soil, exposure and place. Bombolieri brings lift, lightness and limestone tension. Pettineo offers silkier texture and old-vine depth. Fossa di Lupo is more vertical, energetic and austere, with a clear line of acidity and structure.
Completing the case is SM Santa Margherita 2022, a serious single Contrada Grillo that moves beyond simple freshness into texture, salinity and mineral depth.
This is the ideal case for anyone wanting to understand Occhipinti beyond the label: not just as natural wine, but as a precise, expressive and deeply territorial vision of Sicily.
Perfect for collectors, sommeliers, thoughtful drinkers and anyone looking to explore one of Italy’s most important contemporary producers through her key wines.
