Arianna Occhipinti: Ragusa Revival

The intensity of a woman and her land translated into wine



Share:

The making of natural wine is not limited to a simple act of fermentation, it means above all to dedicate great attention to a specific territory: to study it, to nourish it and to prepare it for the future generations.

This is the main merit of this great winemaker: through her wines she has given light to the province of Ragusa (Sicily), to its nature and to the variety of its soils. Arianna’s wines are versatile and conceived through two main variables, the drinkability and the land from which they come.

There are different vinifications according to the lands from which the grapes come. There are fermentations born to investigate the different answers of the vine in the soils where it grows: sandy, clayey or rocky-calcareous. These are studies that require long refinements for a deep understanding of the evolution of wine. An intense and always careful approach is the key of success of this winemaker who, despite the fiercely traditionalist cut, has invested her resources for a positive revaluation of Vittoria, the municipality that houses her cellar.

APRE IL WINE SHOP DI VINO VERO

Cari amici,

Siamo lieti di annunciare l’apertura del Wine Shop di Vino Vero.

Uno spazio che in questo periodo sarà riservato ai vostri acquisti di vino dopo le 16.00 fino alle 19.00 per poter comunque continuare a festeggiare.
In futuro questo sarà anche uno spazio speciale riservato a percorsi sensoriali fuori dall’ordinario. I tempi non ci permettono ancora di svelarvi le degustazioni che i nostri Osti stanno preparando per presentarvi la miglior vinificazione spontanea europea e oceanica, ma apriamo le porte del Wine Shop per donarvi il meglio della nostra cantina, adesso aperta a tutti.

Fino alle 19 ci trovate proprio nella bottega affianco al nostro bancone, per venire incontro al vostro desiderio e al vostro palato anche nei giorni di lockdown, tranne il giorno di Natale, offrendovi le migliori bottiglie da trasportare fino al vostro domicilio o per le strenne natalizie dell’ultima ora.

Nel Wine Shop troverete anche le nostre t-shirt e shopper e una cartolina omaggio per i vostri auguri.

Veniteci a trovare, vi aspettiamo.

UNLOCK THE NIGHT IN VENICE, FREE VINO VERO! SIGN OUR PETITION

Sign this petition so that Venice does not become the world’s biggest museum, with fixed opening and closing times, where people no longer have the right and freedom to live. This trend does not only affect Venice, but all Italian historic centres.

The court of Venice has issued a decree obliging Vino Vero, a natural wine bar with over 1,000 labels, to close early at 11pm. The reason for this is down to a complaint from the tenants on the floor above, according to whom the ‘noise emissions’ coming from the wine bar are intolerable, to the point of compromising their psycho-physical balance.

The judge’s order reads: ‘the anthropic activities connected with the “Vino Vero” restaurant exceed the tolerable threshold of noise emissions (…) even when there are only two people sat at a table and when there are four people on the premises, the noise emissions exceed the threshold of normal tolerability’.

We are faced with a huge paradox: if just two people sitting at a table having a glass of wine is a problem, then the activity of any venue or restaurant operating after 11pm in Venice becomes illegal.

The message which comes across is that Venice after 11pm should close and its inhabitants should stay at home under a curfew, because then even the normal passage of boats and people becomes a disturbance.

A city that closes at 11 p.m. is no longer a city.
