Sicily magical place, where the scents, the colors, the flavors of a unique land dance with life, envelop you in an irresistible and inebriating atmosphere. Centuries of delicacies to be tasted slowly.
Nero d’Avola is Sicily’s oldest native grape and rightly deserving of the high acclaim which it now receives. Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio are smaller players amongst Sicily’s leading red grapes but are key natives around Mount Etna. The two are blended to create Etna Rosso. Cerasuolo di Vittoria, which blends Frappato and Nero d’Avola, is more famous in the south east around Ragusa. Other red grapes include Calabrese, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah (originally from southern France).
Etna Rosso di Murgo is a Sicilian red wine made from Nerello mascalese and Nerello mantellato or Cappuccio grapes. The color is intense ruby red and has hints of fruit and spices.
A wine closely linked to the volcanic territory of Etna, it brings with it characteristics such as personality, elegance and complexity that are unique in its kind.

Red Wine SP68 - Arianna Occhipinti Winery
SP68 owes its name to the provincial road that peasants 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. Young, heady and pulpy, SP68 Rosso is a direct and tasty wine, sometimes rustic but delicate and natural. Excellent to accompany grilled meat with friends.
Pettineo: is a historic district beyond the Serra San Bartolo promontory; historically it has always produced very elegant wines thanks to a layer of loose and deep marine sand (50-60 cm) with little presence of calcareous pebbles on the surface.
Fossa di Lupo is a historic district whose surface lands are sandy with a substantial presence of stone limestone and after the first 40 cm of sand have a rather hard layer of rocky limestone.
Contrada Bombolieri is on a very limestone promontory overlooking the Serra San Bartolo. Here the lands vary from brown to white, but the surface sand layer is decidedly lower, only 25 cm. Just below are solid limestone rocks.
