Le Fontane’s 2023 Calcis is a skin-contact white made from Grillo, Inzolia, and a touch of Moscato, grown on limestone soils in Chiaramonte Gulfi. The estate, launched by the Occhipinti siblings in 2022, follows organic farming and minimalist winemaking rooted in the COS family tradition.

Grapes ferment with native yeasts in concrete after 15 days of skin contact, then age 8–10 months in unlined tanks. Structured yet bright, Calcis highlights Sicily’s mineral-rich limestone terroir with clarity and balance.

More about

The name “Occhipinti” is basically synonymous with fine, terroir-driven, and naturally vinified Sicilian wines. First, Giusto Occhipinti helped to establish COS, a benchmark Vittoria-based winery and one of the first in Sicily to focus on organic, and then biodynamic, farming. Then, Giusto’s niece, Arianna Occhipinti, pioneered her own eponymous label, quickly becoming one of Sicily's most sought-after growers for her soulful and expressive wines.

Today, we introduce to you Le Fontane, a brand-new project spearheaded by Paolo and Giovanni Occhipinti. Like their father and cousin, their vineyards are centralized in Cerasuolo di Vittoria — the only appellation on the island that’s been granted the prestigious DOCG status. Nero d’Avola and Frappato are the all-star red grapes, and Grillo, Insolia, and Moscato are the championship white varieties.

The brothers didn’t just learn viticulture and winemaking from dad; they’re actually using fruit grown at COS, which is, unsurprisingly, pristine. As such, organic and biodynamic techniques are employed in the vineyards, and fermentations are spontaneous. Because the vines sit so close to the Mediterranean — a mere 10 miles or so — cooling ocean breezes bring both freshness and a marked salinity to every cuvée.
