While only in her twenties, this talented and precocious Sicilian winemaker has charmed the world with her wines created from organically grown local varieties, such as Nero d’Avola and Frappato. Arianna Occhipinti has taken the natural wine movement to dizzying new heights. “the term ‘natural’…means that the winemaker minimizes intervention and manipulation during the winemaking process as much as possible so that the finished product is a reflection of the terroir,” says Arianna. There is just as much fanfare about her unwavering dedication to producing terroir-driven wines as there is the enjoyment of the resulting wines’ elegance, beauty and grace.
