Arianna Occhipinti

Arianna is somewhat of a celebrity in winemaking circles having been part of the Sicilian wine new wave of focusing on old vines, indigenous varieties and minimal wine intervention since she started her own winemaking project in 2004. Based in the not so fashionable Vittoria area of southern Sicily, Arianna is focused on producing high quality and accessible wines, and is mostly known for her handling of the indigenous Frappato grape.
