Wine Expert Note:

Upon pouring, the Marabino Archimede Riserva unfurls a rich, deep garnet color, signaling its depth and intensity. The aroma is a generous tapestry of dark fruits - think sun-ripened black cherries and blackberries - laced with hints of Mediterranean herbs, leather, and a deft touch of toasty oak. The palate is rewarded with a robust structure, where concentrated fruit flavors intertwine with savory undertones and spice. The tannins are assertive yet polished, leading to a harmonious finish that carries the warmth of Sicily and the elegance of Nero d’Avola. This is a wine that promises further complexity with age, a noble addition to any cellar.

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.
