Arianna Occhipinti
SP68 Bianco Terre Siciliane Albanello Muscat of Alexandria
Sicily, Italy
Dark golden-yellow. The complex nose offers a curious but intriguing mix of macerated peach, aromatic herbs, capers and custard cream. Fresh and clean on entry, then delivers noteworthy tannic bite to the orchard fruit and saline flavors. Finishes with explosive lemony freshness on the long back end. Made in a macerated style (not quite an orange wine, though), but cleaner and livelier than most such wines. (Ian D'Agata, Vinous, Dec 2016)

Beautifully aromatic and floral. Palate has some really nice weight to it.

Wild, pithy grapefruit. Pungent florals. Menthol and earth. Interesting bottle.

Mar 2nd, 2018As others have mentioned very floral leaning towards roses. Flavors of green apple and mellow tropical fruit. Low acid and doesn't linger on the pallete. Paired exceptionally well with a spicy veggie curry I made. The wine gave a wide berth to the food making for a nice complimentary pairing.
