Occhipinti SP68 Bianco 2016
Sicily, ItalyFrom one of the world's leading natural winemakers and advocates, Arianna Occhipinti blends 15-55-year-old Moscato di Alessandria and Albanello from south western Sicily's limestone-laced soils in this biodynamic, non-interventionist wine. Native ferment, with no inputs save for a touch of sulphur at bottling. After 15 days of skin contact, this spends six months in concrete tank before it is bottled unfined and unfiltered. Slightly cloudy, light golden in hue, with white and pink blossom (slightly wilted), herbal lemon thistle, orange custard, apricot fuzz, pear skin, cold cream perfume, all on a creamy peach flan palate, slim at 12 percent and bristling with tense acidity. There's an alluring prettiness in the imperfections of this wine, so typical of her wines.Tasted: 06 November 2017Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $33.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
