Occhipinti - Grillo Vino di Contrada Sicilia Bianco 2021

Continue Shopping Add to Wish List

Arianna acquired 2ha of land in 2016 in the contrada of Santa Marghertia and planted Grillo, spread out in 4 blocks at the foot of the Arcibessi mountain. This location is north of Vitorria but significantly higher elevation at 490m. This cool hillside area is surrounded by pine and oak trees and olive groves. Soil is sandy calcareous marl. 

Southern and Northern Coast parcels give the wines salinity and complexity.

The Terrazza and Trefile parcels give flesh and acidity.

The Arianna Occhipinti 2021 Sicilia Grillo Vino di Contrada Bianco SM opens to an off-gold color and macerated aromas of grape skins and honey. The wine has a very fragrant side, like what you might expect of a young Grillo, with white rose, jasmine and peach blossom. There is a lot of substance here, with plenty of freshness, crushed stone and a creamy texture. There is a hint of dried apple skin as well. - Monica Larner
