I am a huge fan of Arianna Occhipinti's wines and have had her 3 Sicilian bottlings often. The Alea Viva had a beautiful nose that has come to be her signature for me and the palate has great red fruit and lively acidity. Unfortunately, I felt too much heat and thought that the alcohol really stuck out. I will give another bottle a try soon.
