2024 Occhipinti Bianco SP68

A Sicilian white wine is produced from hand‐harvested, organically (and in some instances biodynamically) managed vineyards planted at approximately 280 metres above sea level on sub-Apennine calcareous and red sand soils over limestone. The blend comprises primarily Albanello with Muscat of Alexandria (Moscato de Alejandría) in ratios such as 40/60, and in some expressions Zibibbo is also included. The grapes, some from 15‐year-old vineyards, are subjected to a 15‑day skin contact before undergoing fermentation with native yeasts and subsequent aging for 6 to 8 months in concrete (cement) tanks. This production protocol emphasizes a precise expression of the terroir and vineyard characteristics while maintaining minimal intervention during vinification.
