OCCHIPINTI GROTTE ALTE 2019 Tasmania On reaching the island three-and-a-halfGrotte Alte is a place: the limestone ridges on which Vittoria stands. But it is also a wine, my Cerasuolo di Vittoria, made from Frappato and Nero d'Avola grapes. It is a Mediterranean wine that preserves the sapidity of the sea and all the air and temperature ranges of the Iblei mountains. It is harmonious and has known a long aging. Perhaps it is the most ambitious of my wines. Vintage 2019. Image for illustration purposes only.
