Occhipinti 2022 Sicilian Red Wine Contrada

Arianna Occhipinti Sicilian Grillo 2022 – Organic Amber White Wine

Discover the authentic taste of Sicily with Arianna Occhipinti’s 2022 Grillo, a distinctive amber white wine crafted from organically grown grapes in the Santa Margherita contrada. Nestled on the slopes of the Iblei Mountains, these vines thrive in a unique microclimate, cooled by coastal breezes and surrounded by diverse flora, imparting complex flavors to the wine.

This naturally fermented Grillo undergoes a 2-day skin maceration for enhanced depth, followed by spontaneous fermentation in concrete tanks and 12 months of aging in Austrian oak barrels. The result? A medium-bodied dry white with vibrant acidity, layered notes of citrus, stone fruit, and a subtle mineral finish—perfect for pairing with seafood dishes like shrimp arancini or grilled fish.

With 13% alcohol, this wine balances richness and freshness, making it an excellent choice for those who appreciate low-intervention winemaking and terroir-driven flavors. Ideal for wine enthusiasts seeking an organic Sicilian white that stands out from conventional offerings.
