2016 Azienda Agricola Arianna Occhipinti ‘Tami’ Nero d’Avola Terre Siciliane IGT, Sicily, Italy (750ml)

TASTING NOTES:

100% Nero d’Avola. Farmed organically, fermented naturally, macerated for one week and aged six months in stainless steel.

One of Sicilys most respected natural wine winemakers, Arianna Occhipinti, who in just a few short years has received international praise with her biodynamic Nero dAvola, Frappato and Grillo wines under her namesake Occhipinti label, also creates Tami.

Tami is a joint project among a handful of her friends, sourcing fruit from other organic vineyards of theirs. This well-priced wine is fragrant yet elegant with notes of black/red berry fruits, wild herbs, and anise. Not a powerhouse of intensity, yet concentrated and well balanced.
