Sicilian whites made from Muscat lean aromatic by nature, and this bottling from Occhipinti puts that perfumed character to work in a fresh, unfussy style. It comes from Sicily's southeast, a 2025 white built for immediacy rather than long cellaring, the kind of wine that rewards curiosity without asking much in return.
A layered wine with stunning freshness and floral aromas of roses, chalk, minerals, lemon zest and quince. Light-bodied and bone dry with a silky texture and refreshing yet brilliant acidity. Super polished with a slightly almondy finish. Drink now. (James Suckling, July 2026)
The 2025 SP68 Bianco mixes notes of tropical citrus, melon, wet rock and minty herbs. It's wickedly fresh, blending sweet and sour, with candied lime, green apple and salty mineral tones enlivened by a core of zesty acidity. This delivers notable tension as hints of kiwi fade.
