"This aromatic white is a blend of two native Sicilian varietals – 60% Zibibbo/40% Albanello. The two varieties are native to Sicily--Zibibbo is more widely known as Muscat of Alexandria--and are grown on red sand soils over limestone rock, with vines averaging 15 years old on two different sites. The grapes are co-fermented and aged in concrete tanks. The wine is fermented dry; Zibibbo lends a floral, aromatic complexity while Albanello adds structure. It seems Occhipinti does her magic with whites as well as her reds. Elegant yet exploding with aromatic white flowers, green sudsy herbs, & freshly washed cotton sheets. A clean mineral driven palate makes this wine perfect for loads of dishes from flaky white fish, linguini in clam sauce or even a pasta bolognese. 'SP68' is a road near Arianna's Vittoria estate which lends its name to her flagship white and red." -Impoerter (Louis/Dressner)
