In the glass

  1. Colour

    Deep ruby red with violet reflections, dense and inviting in the glass.

  2. Nose

    Dark berries such as blackberry and black cherry meet Mediterranean herbs, delicate spice and a mineral note reminiscent of the calcareous subsoil.

  3. Palate

    Juicy and structured with ripe tannins, vibrant acidity and a fruit-driven core. The 12.5% alcohol ensures excellent drinkability, whilst the dry style accentuates varietal typicity.

  4. Character

    Authentic and unadorned – a Nero d'Avola that prioritises elegance over sheer power, bearing the signature of a winemaker who places terroir expression above commercial considerations.

  5. Pairing

    Pasta alla Norma with aubergine and ricotta salata, rack of lamb with rosemary or mature Pecorino.

  6. Notes

    The vines are trained in the traditional bush vine system (alberello) – a cultivation method perfectly adapted to Mediterranean drought. Arianna Occhipinti has farmed biodynamically since 2009 and is among the pioneers of a new generation of Sicilian winemakers who have restored indigenous varieties to their former prestige.

Tasting note

Character
Arianna Occhipinti cultivates her vines in Vittoria entirely without irrigation – a rare decision in the Sicilian heat. The Siccagno bears the signature style of this pioneer: unadorned, clear, dry. Power is not the focus here; rather, it is subtle tension and unadulterated origin that take centre stage.
Terroir & Origin
The indigenous Nero d’Avola grows in the contrade around Vittoria on sandy, limestone and clay soils. This geology lends the grapes freshness and focus, whilst the Mediterranean drought forces the vines to concentrate. Occhipinti thus demonstrates that Sicily can offer far more than mere power – the Siccagno is an expression of a terroir philosophy that places regional identity above international uniformity.
Grape Variety & Vinification
In the glass, Nero d’Avola reveals typical notes of dark cherries and redcurrants. The structure remains soft and accessible, rewarded with a slight coolness imparted by the stony soils. Andrea Occhipinti treats this variety with the respect it deserves as its native home – pure, without any overwrought impressions.
Food Pairings
Perfect with Pasta alla Norma, grilled aubergines or a firm Pecorino. Its fruity structure and moderate power make it wonderfully suited to the summer table, alongside wild salmon or grilled pork. A bottle that does not hide behind the culture of its origin.
