ARIANNA OCCHIPINTI: SPECIAL CUVÉES FROM SICILY

Two 2023 Arianna Occhipinti bottles, Siccagno Nero d’Avola and the 20th anniversary Frappato, at Négociant in Portland

Arianna Occhipinti is hands down one of our favorite growers on the planet. She skyrocketed into fame in the early 2000s for her deeply expressive wines made from amazing plots in the southeastern corner of Sicily. Though it is common to see her entry-level cuvées in town, we are very lucky to have been allocated a small lot of some of her top cuvées. If you are a fan of Arianna, or even Sicilian wine in general, these are bottles you will not want to miss.

THE 2023 LINEUP

2023 Nero d’Avola Siccagno

From a single plot of 35 year old vines planted on sand and marine sediments. Fresh, elegant and noble.

2023 Frappato Vino di Contrada Cuvée 20

This is a special bottling that celebrates the 20th year of Arianna’s work. A blend of Frappato from her best sites.
