Nose of dried flowers, fino sherry and green tea. Notes of cider and autolysis detract just a bit- as they make the wine seem simple (which it isn’t)- but I’m sure the natural wine hive mind will disagree on that point. Still, quite saline, focused and super long. Imagine a few years of aging will bring added weight and richness. #occhipinti #sicily — 7 years ago
I’m losing my shit right now. This is amazing. Apricot jam, honey, wet wool, bee hive, lavender stalks, succulent plums. Had before, more evident now. Wow. — 5 years ago

You immediately smell fresh cut cold Green Apple when first poured and nosed. Has it warms smell transitions to raw honey like in hive combs,sweet but not sugary and the hint of outdoors funk! The body of the fluid is luxurious in mouth.
In tasting this wine is subtle throughout = balanced ....Green Apple, honeydew melon, lemon acidity that flattens out with a warming and bitterness of raw asparagus.
Truly an adventure worth trying on bright sunny day. Enjoyed with homemade cod cakes an d garden salad 🙌🏼🍷 — 6 years ago

Orange blossom, citrus grove, bee hive waxy, mango puree, peach flesh.
Straight up sunny delight. Juice bomb.
Zesty AF, zingy, exactly what I was looking for for my next wine club tasting for wines from the movies. This has got Kill Bill written all over it. The hues, the outlandishness (20% cider, 80 % Riesling), the sharp yellow-orange hue.
