92 points Monica Larner (Vinous): "The Arianna Occhipinti 2021 Sicilia Grillo Vino di Contrada Bianco SM opens to an off-gold color and macerated aromas of grape skins and honey. The wine has a very fragrant side, like what you might expect of a young Grillo, with white rose, jasmine and peach blossom. There is a lot of substance here, with plenty of freshness, crushed stone and a creamy texture. There is a hint of dried apple skin as well. Drink 2023-2028 (Jun 2023)."

This wine comes from the contrada of Santa Margherita and is entirely made from Grillo. The vines are planted on the hillsides of the Iblei Mountains, and benefit from cool wind, with diverse plantlife surrounding them. The Grillo sees a 2 day maceration on the skins, fermented spontaneously in concrete tank, and aged for one year in Austrian oak. Enjoy this medium-bodied dry amber white with shrimp arancini.
