Far from being stuck in the past, however, Sicily also holds its own with exciting blends, such as the traditional Chardonnay varietal with natives Grillo, Inzolia, Cataratto, Grecanico. White wines stand out for freshness, minerality and aromatic complexity.
The sun and the favourable climate means these grapes produce extraordinary wines with extraordinary flavours and colours, ensuring they bear DOC status.
Chardonnay IGT originally from the Bourgogne and Champagne regions. This splendid variety has been exported all over the world, so to affirm its importance as the best known white in the world. Here in Sicily it has found an optimum environment to reach a good level of ripeness But above all, thanks to our wine-making techniques, it has expressed unique and territorial characteristics.
Versatile wine with a perfect balance between freshness and flavour
SP68 takes the name of a road that farmers already traveled three thousand years ago starting from the countryside with amphorae, and then barrels, and inside the fruit of their work, fatigue, joy, and again the smell of the earth. Fresh, slightly aromatic and of great finesse, SP68 Bianco is a fragrant and mineral white wine. Wealth and character enhance its drinkability and versatility.
The white wine SM Contrada Santa Margherita by Arianna Occhipinti is a particularly sapid, elegant 100% Grillo with great personality and aromatic intensity. Excellent balance between the alcoholic and acidic sensations. To give it these unique characteristics is the terroir on which the vineyard stands, partly rich in chalk and fossils, partly calcareous.
