Presented in a bottle commemorating the wine’s 20th anniversary, the organic Arianna Occhipinti 2023 Sicilia Nero d’Avola Siccagno is a standout. It opens to a beautiful bouquet of bold cherry, blackcurrant, blueberry and violets, with dusty, chalky mineral notes adding definition. The bright primary fruit is especially compelling when the wine is young, and the freshness gives it energy and grace. The wine undergoes 25 days of skin maceration and ages for 24 months in Austrian oak casks. The fruit comes from vineyards at 280 meters in elevation, with 25 centimeters of white sand over limestone. Production is 18,400 bottles.

Varietal Nero D'avola

One of the key flagship grape varietals of the beautiful island of Sicily is Nero d'Avola, a black skinned grape which is recognized as being one of Italy's most important and long lasting indigenous grapes. Often, wines made from the Nero d'Avola varietal are compared with Australian Shiraz wines, as they share the same spicy, peppery and fruit-forward notes, and are easily drinkable with a sunny, juicy character which makes them ideal for pairing with a wide range of foods. The Nero d'Avola has been grown in the Sicilian region of Avola for centuries, but has more recently been cultivated in California and elsewhere in the New World, where it thrives in arid landscapes and hot climates. As such, the ancient influence of this grape varietal is beginning to find fans all over the globe, and is likely to spread to even more countries in the near future.

Country Italy

There are few countries in the world with a viticultural history as long or as illustrious as that claimed by Italy. Grapes were first being grown and cultivated on Italian soil several thousand years ago by the Greeks and the Pheonicians, who named Italy 'Oenotria' – the land of wines – so impressed were they with the climate and the suitability of the soil for wine production. Of course, it was the rise of the Roman Empire which had the most lasting influence on wine production in Italy, and their influence can still be felt today, as much of the riches of the empire came about through their enthusiasm for producing wines and exporting it to neighbouring countries. Since those times, a vast amount of Italian land has remained primarily for vine cultivation, and thousands of wineries can be found throughout the entire length and breadth of this beautiful country, drenched in Mediterranean sunshine and benefiting from the excellent fertile soils found there. Italy remains very much a 'land of wines', and one could not imagine this country, its landscape and culture, without it.

Region Sicily

The beautiful island of Sicily has been growing grapevines and producing wines for thousands of years, ever since the ancient Greeks first landed on its golden shores and noticed the island's true potential as a haven for quality grapes. Today, the island is one of Italy's primary wine regions, and even though over eighty percent of Sicily's grapevines are used for the production of sweet fortified wines, the remaining wineries making other wine styles are renowned around the world for their quality and character. Indeed, Sicilian wineries are famed for their ability to capture something of the sun-drenched region in their wines, and the vines they cultivate benefit enormously from the almost constant sunshine and the incredibly fertile volcanic soils which typify the island.

Wine Spectator

A bright red, with crushed blackberry, black plum and black cherry fruit buoyed by minerally notes of iron and stone. Fresh and focused on the palate, with a sculpted frame of chalky tannins. The fragrant finish echoes hints of dried violet, cumin and anise. Drink now through 2038.

James Suckling

A spicy and savory wine with aromas of iodine, seaweed, black olives and earthy minerality. Vibrancy on the palate, with a light to medium body, crisp acidity and tight, integrated, crunchy tannins. Drink now.

Vinous Media

The 2023 Nero d'Avola Siccagno bursts from the glass with citrus-inflected blueberries and blackberries enhanced by sweet lavender. Savory, juicy and invigorating, this spreads across the palate with ease, carried by mineral tones and a contrasting citrus twang. It closes with lovely length and tension as hints of sour cherry fade. Wonderful.

Winery Notes

100% Nero d'Avola. From multiple, certified-organic parcels with vines averaging 35 years old, planted on red-sandy, limestone soils and trained in alberello and guyot. The bunches are hand-harvested and destemmed with the berries left whole. Fermentation is spontaneous with native yeasts in 20-hectoliter concrete tanks and with approximately 30 days of maceration and only gentle extraction. The wine is aged for 22 months in 25-hectoliter Slavonian oak botti and is bottled without fining or filtration. Sulfur use is minimal.
