Savory and expressive, layered with wild herbs and a hint of wet stone before unfolding into ripe crushed nectarines. The palate is round and silky, lifted by a touch of ginger spice, tart orchard fruit, and a streak of saline minerality. The finish is vivid and focused, with green melon and a twist of bitter lime zest echoing long after. Brilliant with seafood of any kind, yet versatile enough for a wide range of dishes—just give it a little time to breathe.
60% Zibibbo/40% Albanello. From certified-organic vines, averaging 20+ years old and planted on chalky, sandy soils. The bunches are harvested by hand, destemmed and co-fermented spontaneously with native yeasts in concrete tanks. Maceration lasts approximately two weeks. The wine is aged in concrete tanks for 6 months and bottled unfiltered. Sulfur use is modest. "SP68" is the Strada Provinciale 68, the country road on which the Occhipinti winery and home vineyard lie.
