Occhipinti 2021 SP68 Bianco 750ml

This crisp and aromatic white wine is a blend of 40% Albanello and 60% Moscato de Alejandría/Zibibbo grapes from 15 year old vines. Both grape varieties are indegenous to Sicily. The fruit is destemmed and co-fermented with native yeasts in concrete vats. Allowed to macerate on skins for 2 weeks, it was aged in concrete for 8 months and bottled unfiltered.

Light straw yellow in colour, the SP68 Bianco has aromas of ripe peaches, orange blossoms, and wild Mediterannean herbs. Medium bodied with crisp acidity, the palate has flavours of apricots, blood oranges, and honey. The finish is dry and lush. An incredibly well balanced white wine with enticing aromas and flavours.
