Occhipinti SP 68 Rosso, Terre Siciliane, Italy 2021 Vernaccia Pale-intensity lemon in colorThis wine is unusual in that while its a serious proposition, its also exuberant fun. SP68 Rosso is a vivid ruby color, purple flecked and slightly turbid in the glass, young wine with nothing taken out. Cherry, strawberry and violet perfume leads to a bright, fresh palate. Cherry, strawberry, mulberry and cranberry are in tension with a streak of saline minerality and a hint of liquorice. Theres little tannin but outstanding balance and texture,
