Info about the wine

Fossa di Lupo Another historic site and, according to Arianna Occhipinti, the backbone of her work since 2004. The soils are sandy with shades ranging from red to maroon, with a significant presence of limestone rocks on the surface. After the first 40 cm of sand, you reach a layer of firm, hard limestone. The vines were planted in Albarello a typical training system with planting distances, as is common in the Vittoria area. The site faces north-east towards the Hyblaean Mountains; from here come the wines, which are typically fruity but also austere, with high acidity. The production volume is 2700 bottles.

Color

Sparkling bright garnet red with purple reflections.

Nose

In the 2020 vintage, the Fossa di Lupo exudes the impression of red and dark wild berries, pickled cranberries, tree bark, noble mushrooms and oriental spices. Everything seems finely and skilfully interwoven, accompanied by graphite, delicate stony notes and the scent of roses and elder wood.

Palate

The impression on the palate is compact and at the same time elegant, the acidity refreshes formidably, the ripe and at the same time demanding tannin gives it grip and animating spiciness, its finish seems burgundy, finely structured and inspiring. A wine that can still be allowed to mature in order to show its full, profound facet.

Enjoy slightly chilled from Burgundy glasses.
