Producer Andrea Occhipinti

Lazio

The company Andrea Occhipinti is located in Gradoli, on the shores of Lake Bolsena, the largest volcanic lake in Europe. Andera knows these areas well, having studied as a student during her Agraria laure ain and having her undergraduate degree. Andrea started his project in 2004 by acquiring 6 hectares of vineyards that are on a hill in a beautiful location, with excellent sun exposure and lake microclimate allowing for a qualitatively superior production. The basic principle of Andrea and to produce territorial wines, preserving and enhancing them through a selection of the best clones best suited to volcanic soils, chemical exclusion from vineyards, reasoned use of copper and sulfur. A scrupulous care of grapes during drying, vinification in steel or terracotta amphora Brewed vines are the local autochthones: Aleatico and the rare Red Grechetto. Wines where the taste of tradition blends perfectly with the effervescence of innovation.
