Wine Description:
From Val di Noto in southeastern Sicily, Gulfi's Vigna Baroni Nero d'Avola is a classic Cru. Spanning 3 hectares at 50 meters above sea level, the vineyard features 30+ year-old vines, yielding under 20 hl/ha. With 7,000 vines per hectare, it's organically cultivated, undergoing spontaneous fermentation and 18 months of aging in 225L barrels (half new, half used). Robust and impressive, it unveils intense aromas of black cherry, tobacco, and coffee roastery. Earthy and masculine, the palate surprises with subtle raspberry and wild berry notes, displaying finely groomed tannins and considerable pressure. A powerful expression of Nero d'Avola.

This single-variety Nero d'Avola from Arianna Occhipinti is the epitome of Sicilian wine culture. The organic grapes, sourced from approximately 35-year-old vines, reflect the island's essence. The Occhipinti Siccagno showcases a brilliant ruby-red hue and a bouquet of black cherry, sweet blackberry, elderberry, and subtle limestone notes. On the palate, it offers a symphony of dark fruit flavors, including ripe plum, blueberry, blackberry, and cassis, complemented by mineral undertones and delicate, juicy tannins. This wine is ideal for special occasions, pairing wonderfully with grilled beef fillet, classic spaghetti Bolognese, or a selection of savory antipasti. Arianna Occhipinti's meticulous winemaking involves organic farming on red sandy soil with limestone at 280 meters above sea level. She allows the grapes to ferment naturally with their skins for 30 days, followed by 22 months of aging in large Slavonian oak barrels. The wine then rests for an additional two months in the bottle, remaining unfiltered to preserve its unique character.
