Today, Arianna Occhipinti has become a seminal figure for a new generation of wine lovers. Her rise to prominence has been meteoric, and rightfully so: anyone who has ever met Ari will instantly vouch for her charming personality and seemingly boundless energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eArianna is the niece of Giusto Occhpinti, whose COS wines are undisputedly amongst the very best of Sicily. In 1998, Giusto invited her to help him out at Vinitaly for four days. Arianna was 16 at the time and knew nothing about wine; the experience was such a good one that she decided to study viticulture and oenology in university. This quickly proved counter-intuitive, since everything she had learned from her uncle (organic viticulture, hand-harvesting, native yeast fermentations) clashed with what she was being taught in school.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eUndeterred, Arianna started making her own wine with just one hectare of abandoned vines in the commune of Vittoria. Over the years, she has progressively expanded the estate by replanting 10 hectares of the region's indigenous Frappato and Nero D'Avola in selection massale. A few years later, she was able to start renting 50 year old Frappato and 45 year old Nero D'Avola vines, both independently bottled as single varietal\/vineyard cuvées. In 2012, an additional eight hectares of 19 year old vines were acquired, which for the time being will be used to produce more of her \"SP68\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eContinually pushing things forward, Arianna built herself a new cellar in 2014, a huge step up from the cramped, chaotic space she used to work in.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"occhipinti-il-frappato-sicilia-2017","title":"Occhipinti 'Il Frappato' Sicilia, 2024 (750ml)","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-sm-12 col-md-12 main\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-md-10\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"vendor-product-show\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container-fluid\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel panel-default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel-body\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"distributor-notes\" class=\"tab-pane active hidden-print\" role=\"tabpanel\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-react-props=\"{\u0026quot;first\u0026quot;:\u0026quot;\\u003cp\\u003e100% Frappato.
