Arianna Occhipinti's SP68 Rosso is a young, pulpy and intoxicating red wine. Delicate and sincere, at times rustic, but always direct and tasty. A wine named after the provincial road that passes by the vineyard, capable of conveying the flavour of the sun and the freshness of this land.
When on a Sunday in May, the wind and sun create the perfect climate, it is time to call your friends and bring out the grill. Enjoy it, amidst chatter and laughter, with a glass of SP68 Rosso in your hand, ready to accompany a lamb chop scottadito just pulled from the fire.
