protorob — Thu, 01 Aug 2024 22:03:45 +0000

fun, unsettling Orange wine with a strong personality and free from redundant schemes.

A selection of the best Carricante grapes subjected to spontaneous fermentation The more intense color of this wine is the result of the maceration process, a phase in which the must remains in contact with the skins of the berry.

It acquires tannins, polyphenols and aromatic substances which gives out a unique wine, completely different from both white and reds.

Our Orange is characterized by a pale orange colour, wild and distinctive scents on the nose, it is soft and savory with a nice acid core, fruity sweet on the finish. A unique wine for an unconventional aperitif.

Perfect for aperitifs, especially those based on peppery or semi-mature cheeses, thanks to its versatility it is also well suited to main courses. Ideal to accompany rich and tasty dishes, the intensity and freshness of this wine goes perfectly with raw fish dishes and sushi.
