Occhipinti Pantarei Olio Aktion 6+1 2022 3000ml

Wine Description for Occhipinti Pantarei Olio Aktion 6+1 2022 3000ml from Tasting Package

Arianna Occhipinti transfers her uncompromising biodynamic philosophy from the vineyard directly into the olive groves of Monti Iblei. The 2022 Pantarei is no by-product, but rather a precise character study of the Tonda Iblea variety. It is an oil of intellectual clarity that captures the vibrant energy of Sicily without descending into rustic heaviness. Those who appreciate Occhipinti’s wines for their freshness and terroir authenticity will recognise the same signature in this oil: purist, lively and deeply authentic.

Colour & Appearance

Luminous, intense emerald green with golden reflections and viscous texture.

Nose

Extremely distinctive and racy. Dominated by notes of freshly cut grass, tomato vine and a particularly dense freshness that recalls cool autumn mornings in Sicily.

Palate

On the palate, a fascinating balance emerges between smoothness and spice. Buttery artichoke hearts meet the piquant notes of sharply roasted courgette and the fine bite of red peppercorns. Medium-bodied with a penetrating fruit presence.

Finish

Long-lasting and clean, with an elegant, slightly peppery aftertaste that underscores the freshness of the Tonda Iblea.

Terroir & Origin

Sourced from 7 hectares of decades-old olive groves in Sicily, managed in harmony with holistic biodiversity.

Variety & Production

100% Tonda Iblea. The olives are hand-harvested in late autumn and gently cold-pressed to preserve primary aromas.

Food Pairing Recommendations

Excellent with grilled fish, beef carpaccio or as a finish over lukewarm goat’s cheese and robust farmhouse bread.

Special Features

An unobtrusive insider tip that traditionally marks the end of the harvest season at Occhipinti.
