This is not the regular Nero d'Avola you usually get from Sicily. Arianna Occhipinti creates elegant and much lighter wine. Acetone, ripe black fruits and balsamic notes. Balanced, medium light body, medium low tannin, medium high acidity. Even though it's low on body, I like it. Combination of this acidity and wildness is to my taste.
Siccagno is my Nero d'Avola, born from those concentrated grapes which we precisely call Siccagna. Nero relates mostly Sicily, that it is wild, but it is also fresh and elegant and it is red fruit flavoured. That it has something noble and aristocratic, but it is also melancholic as a poet or a philosopher. That it is passionate, full of warmth and contrasts. The Nero which is the grape of our fathers and unites Sicily from corner to corner and it better gathers the spirit for centuries. A wine which I deeply love and since the first year it has always been with me.
