Sicily, Italy

One of the wines that helped define the modern natural wine movement in Sicily. SP68 Rosso takes its name from the historic road that runs alongside Arianna Occhipinti's vineyards in Vittoria, a symbol of her connection to the land and the traditional farming culture of the region.

A blend of 70% Frappato and 30% Nero d'Avola, the wine combines the floral elegance and freshness of Frappato with the depth and structure of Sicily's most famous red grape. The vineyards are farmed organically and biodynamically on sandy, calcareous soils, with fermentation using indigenous yeasts and ageing in concrete tanks to preserve purity and energy.

Bright and expressive, the 2023 vintage shows aromas of wild strawberries, sour cherry, violets, Mediterranean herbs and subtle spice. The palate is juicy and vibrant, with crunchy red fruit, fine tannins, mineral freshness and a long savoury finish.

A true Appellance-style red: natural, elegant and full of personality. A wine that proves Sicilian reds can be fresh, refined and incredibly food-friendly.

Perfect slightly chilled with charcuterie, pizza, pasta, grilled vegetables, seafood or simply enjoyed by the glass.
