"Siccagno" by Arianna Occhipinti winery is Nero d'Avola with elegant notes of ripe plum, blackberry, black currant and a spicy finish, warm, enveloping, with a lovely freshness and with a maceration of 30days on the skins.

100% Nero d'Avola. From multiple, certified-organic parcels with vines averaging 35 years old, planted on red-sandy, limestone soils and trained in alberello and guyot. The bunches are hand-harvested and destemmed with the berries left whole. Fermentation is spontaneous with native yeasts in 20-hectoliter concrete tanks and only gentle extraction. The wine is aged for 22 months in 25-hectoliter Slavonian oak botti and is bottled without fining or filtration. Sulfur use is minimal. "Siccagno" is local dialect for "totally dry".
