Le Fontane Sabbie Rosse IGT Terre Siciliane 2023

DESCRIPTION

Le Fontane is the result of a new generation’s vision, rooted in the land and legacy of Sicilian winemaking. Raised among the vineyards of their family estate, surrounded by the scents of harvest, the warmth of Sicilian summers, and the quiet presence of barrels and amphoras, the Occhipinti siblings were immersed in the world of wine from an early age. At COS, their father, Giusto Occhipinti, helped shape the philosophy of natural winemaking in Sicily.

A blend of 70% Frappato and 30% Nero d’Avola, this wine shows a bright ruby hue and aromas of red berries such as strawberry, cherry, and raspberry, layered with floral notes of violet and rose. On the palate, it’s light to medium-bodied with juicy acidity, soft tannins, and a silky mouthfeel. Subtle herbal, spice, and earthy nuances lend added depth. Fresh and elegant, it pairs beautifully with grilled tuna, poultry, pasta dishes, Sicilian caponata, and soft cheeses.
