Occhipinti SP68 Rosso Terre Siciliane 2024

If SP68 Bianco is a manifesto of texture and light, the Rosso is its joyful, chuggable echo. Same road, same principles, and same quiet conviction.

This is a 70/30 blend of Frappato and Nero d’Avola from 15-year-old vines, co-fermented with native yeasts and aged in concrete. It’s a red wine that reminds you why Italian grapes are so good at being Italian: it’s all bright perfume and savoury depth.

It smells like a handful of red cherries, crushed pomegranate seeds, and warm Mediterranean herbs dusted with sea salt. The palate is vibrant and silky, with Frappato’s floral crunch and Nero d’Avola’s spicy depth winding around a core of savoury minerals. It finishes long, clean, and lifted by a refreshing coastal breeze.

We think you should plan an hommage dinner to Sicilian delicacies and open this bottle to go with a decadent eggplant caponata.
