The name of a street, for a wine that is a journey. That of the farmers who already left the countryside three thousand years ago with the amphorae, and then the barrels, and inside the fruit of their work, the effort, the joy, even the smell of the earth. The journey of the farmers, even today heading to their vineyard, between meetings and exchanged words, under the clear Iblean sky.

The winery, owned by Arianna Occhipinti, originated in 2004 in the Fossa di Lupo district, located in the heart of the area dedicated to the production of Cerasuolo di Vittoria, and extends over an area of ​​approximately 30 hectares, of which almost 20 are cultivated following the principles of organic farming, focusing on viticulture. The objective, already achieved some time ago, is to be able to interpret the territory without making alterations to its essence, and wines like this are the perfect demonstration of this. The name "SP68" represents Arianna's daily journey through her vineyards, along ancient wine roads which are also a symbol of Sicilian wine production.

The wine has a bright straw yellow hue with slightly greenish nuances. Delicate floral notes of chamomile and daisy emerge on the nose, underlined by fruity hints of citrus and medlar, with a vegetal background that evokes the smell of freshly cut grass. The tasting is characterized by a simple liveliness, a remarkable balance between freshness and flavor, enriched by hints of lemon and lime, and concludes with a dry and clean finish.

This wine is an ideal choice for everyday use, perfect to pair with small bites of swordfish.
