How Pre-Arrival Works

These wines are currently on the way to Thatcher’s Wine. We have sourced them from some of our clients' private cellars, our friends in Europe, direct from the domaine or through our other trusted networks. On each product you will note an estimated time of arrival. Understand that these are only estimates, and to ensure that your wine arrives safely it may be longer. Utilizing this method allows us to offer some amazing wines and gives you the opportunity to secure them earlier.

Since the early 21st century, the young and ambitious Arianna Occhipinti has grown to be the experienced, still ambitious winemaker of great note and following. Her wines are worthy of cellaring, but are delicious and personable when young. She is highly respectful of her land, showing in her dedication to letting it speak for itself with minimal intervention, and whip-smart farming.

Occhipinti

"The first gesture I learned while making wine was to accept. Accept the diversity of soils, inclination of the land, altitude, and the originality of a vineyard. Accepting means respecting. Respect the earth and its balance. Respect the vineyard with the wise gestures of sensitive agriculture. Respect the fermentations thanks to the contribution of indigenous yeasts. Respect wine as if it were a person. "

Arianna Occhipinti's wines will always catch you as very personal and personable - full of energy, brighter than so many others of the region, yet concentrated in their soul, in their flavor and essence. This is intentional, as Arianna came from a winemaking family - the niece of Giusto of COS - and didn't take it for granted but rather welcomed the challenge of making her own imprint on the winemaking world. 

Twenty years into her own project, the wines are not omnipresent throughout our world, as everything is very much still hand-made. Yet they are present in the consciousness of the wine world as a shining example of Sicily's promise, as Arianna's wines are as delicious and approachable young as they are age-worthy, serious wines. 

Arianna utilizes a low-intervention method in the cellars, without temperature-controlled tanks, and utilizing native yeasts. Her wines are unfiltered and unfined, and sulfur is kept to the bare minimum. The whites are snappy and fresh, and the reds equally so!
