In 2015, Anna and Eric purchased a small, stunning property in Contrade Rampante, just beneath the Quota Mille road on the north face of Mt Etna. Half the property was 80-100 year old bush vines of Nerello Mascalese, the rest, century old olive trees. After farming the vineyard biodynamically for 4 years, the grapes that were hand harvest in 2019 were particularly distinct, and a decision was made to release the wine created from this vineyard, as an individual cuvee for the first time.

Jokingly they say that I am brand ambassador of Vino di Anna. It all boils down to my love for their wines. And how I force people to drink them.

Incredible finish for the Arianna Occhipinti lineup. It depicts a less clear and more powerful low-intervention style. Lots of spoiled fruits. Luckily, the bottle comes with a healer included, so these fruits are getting better with time. Red, dark - it’s a mix of them. Leather, chocolate, tobacco and juniper. Complex, harsh, a bit elevated and persistent. It was fizzy at the beginning (not something I prefer when combined with overall heaviness). As with Don Alfio, I wonder about its development. Would love to taste them in 10 years.
