Arianna Occhipinti 'Pettineo' Terre Siciliane IGT Contrada 2019

This historic contrada, a term used to refer a small district of the countryside, is located beyond Serra San Bartolo ridge; historically it has always produced very elegant wines thanks to deep layer of marine sands 50-60cm, with little presence of limestone rocks on the surface. Chiusa di Pettineo vines are nearly 60 years old. Originally planted in a head trained or albarello system from which the previous owner then transformed into a trellised system, now with the vines climbing between the trellises into monumental heights. The wines of the Pettineo are usually fruit-driven with a more silky tannin yet possessing quite lively acidity. 2652 bottles produced.
