With a fresh glass from a bottle, what a charming wine. Mix of fresh plum, dark fruit plus dried plum and leather nose. Drinks lighter than it looks, tart cherry, plum, zesty notes and creamy tannins to close. #sicily #nerodiavola — 2 years ago

Mandarins, jasmine. Saline; a bit of fino, almond and macadamia through the finish. Clean and definitely Sicilian. If all natural wines were this good, I’d have no bone to pick. #tami #grillo #sicily — 8 years ago

Vintage 2016 - Selected with- and for my student daughter. Pleasurewine from #catarratto and #chardonnay from #Sicily. Clearly minerals in smell, citrus also. Good balance and fenomenal price/quality. Surely a good springwine. Not special but to colour everyday life. 😉 — 8 years ago

Arianna Occhipinti Nero d'Avola 'Siccagno' 2012

The Queen of Sicilian wine, Occhipinti wines reflect their place as well as transcend place, taking the wines to a level of superstardom as far as the best wines of the world go.

This is an elegant and silky Nero d'Avola, with fine and ripe tannin that support a medium body wine showing fresh and bright red and blue fruits, florals, earth and minerality, finishes with an echo of acidity and those fine tannin trailing.

I find this wine to be very interesting given that it is an ancestral grape from the island of #Sicily (#Grillo) and a winery that I had never heard of before, but it’s quite high acid and crisper than I imagined. I wouldn’t recommend it as a sipper or first glass but much rather something to pair with something citric or sharp. — 5 years ago

Funky that jumps between ocean bilge, peppermint sanitizer and sarsaparilla, that has been tilled into jungle soils with bat guano. (Touch of Brett) Red apple, smoked plum, rhubarb, granulated black cherry, graphite and burnt stubble. Would love to see this without the flaws. #NerelloMascalese #sicily #sicilianwines #Cirasa #organic #doc #rosso #italianwines #italianred — 8 years ago

Fun wine. Notes of Campari, burnt orange, spice, red fruit, flowers on the nose. The palate was lean but lively. Balanced structure but lacked fruit in mid palate. Fine finish. Good food wine. #frappato #sicily #ctbucklinwine — 8 years ago

Nose of dried flowers, fino sherry and green tea. Notes of cider and autolysis detract just a bit- as they make the wine seem simple (which it isn’t)- but I’m sure the natural wine hive mind will disagree on that point. Still, quite saline, focused and super long. Imagine a few years of aging will bring added weight and richness. #occhipinti #sicily — 8 years ago

Although young, it was a great wine that was medium bodied and easy to drink all day. Grapes grown on Volcano Mt. Etna . #sicily #etnawines — 8 years ago

Showing much better than the 2012. Color was vibrant. Great mix of fresh blue and red fruit as well as white pepper and herbs. Palate was restrained and well structured with a hint of sourness. More drying than unctuous. Fine finish. #passopisciaro #etna #mtetnawine #sicily #italy #nerellomascalese #ctbucklinwine — 9 years ago
