Occhipinti SP68 Rosso 2025

Occhipinti SP68 Rosso 2025 pours a fresh, lively purple-ruby color in the glass. The nose is remarkably expressive, bright, and floral, opening with inviting aromas of red roses, wild strawberries, black cherries, and fresh violets, intricately layered with subtle complexities of black pepper, shaved cocoa, liquorice, and a faint hint of rustic volcanic earth. On the palate, this light-to-medium-bodied natural red showcase a crunchy, highly energetic mouthfeel driven by a perky minerality and an electric, crisp acidity. Supple, velvety tannins provide a harmonious structure, framing juicy flavors of red plum, tart pomegranate, and savory wild herbs that seamlessly carry into a pure, clean, and refreshing finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs perfectly with eggplant parmigiana, classic pasta alla Norma, wood-fired Margherita pizza, pan-seared duck breast, or lightly aged pecorino cheeses.

Bright blueberries and boysenberries on the nose, with a flinty edge and a hint of rose petals. Round and supple yet focused on the palate, with crunchy cherries carrying through the finish, lifted by refreshing tannins. Drink or hold.
