Questo vino
Vineyard and terroir
The fruit comes from vineyards beside Strada Provinciale 68, near the Occhipinti family estate. The vines are eight years old.
Grapes
The wine combines Albanello with Muscat of Alexandria. The blend originated as an experiment.
Vinification
After mechanical pressing and destemming, the grapes macerate on their skins in cement tanks for 15 days, with daily pump-overs and punch-downs. The must is then pressed in a vertical press.
Ageing
The pressed must returns to the same cement tanks for six months. The wine is bottled without filtration and rests for another month before release.
Label / history
The wine takes its name from Strada Provinciale 68, the road running beside the estate. Arianna travelled along it several times a day to reach the vineyards, and harvested grapes are transported to the winery by the same route.
