Arianna Occhipinti SP 68 Bianco Terre Siciliane 2013




This is a blend, slightly macerated, of Albanello and Zibibbo grapes.
 
It envelops the nostrils with freshness and straightness, absolutely devoid of sweetness. Dominating the olfactory spectrum is, at first, the plant connotation that is realized with hay and other herbs, bay leaf, thyme and an exuberant chamomile.
 
Later it was the turn of fruity and marine scents, with hints of citrus and peach, thwarted by seaweed, oyster and strong mineral filler.
 
The taste, giving almost complete consonance with the nose, once again, even more notably, the plant component - here the fruit pays duty - that is adequately supported by delicate mineral texture, as well as balanced acidity.
 
The sip, very wide and of medium complexity, remains dry and closes on persistent iodine notes and citrus returns.
 
High and dangerous drinkability.
