Arianna Occhipinti is committed to organic farming and minimal intervention winemaking. Siccagno is a prime example of her philosophy, showcasing the true character of the Nero d'Avola grape and its terroir. Siccagno is known for its deep ruby color, intense aromas of dark fruits, such as blackberries and plums, along with hints of spice and Mediterranean herbs. The palate is rich and structured, with firm tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long, satisfying finish. This wine often exhibits a mineral undertone, reflecting the limestone-rich soils of the region.

Azienda Agricola Arianna Occhipinti is a renowned winery in Sicily, celebrated for its natural and biodynamic wines that vividly express the island's unique terroir. Founded in 2004 by a then-22-year-old Arianna Occhipinti, the estate is located in the Vittoria region, a hotbed for indigenous Sicilian grapes. Her rise to prominence has been rapid, establishing her as a leading figure in the natural wine movement. The vineyards are farmed biodynamically, with a focus on holistic agriculture and fostering a vibrant, natural ecosystem.
