Azienda Agricola Arianna Occhipinti – Grotte Alte Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG

Description

Arianna Occhipinti’s Grotte Alte Cerasuolo di Vittoria is a proud and elegant red wine. Pleasant and fine in the mouth, it reveals all its Mediterranean character, of which it retains the flavor of the sea and all the air and the thermal excursions of the Iblei mountains. A compact, harmonious and very long wine, to say it in the words of Arianna “the synthesis of my Sicily”. Grotte Alte Cerasuolo di Vittoria is a wine that goes very well with lamb meat cooked in the oven and with potatoes.
