"NATURAL WINE"
ORANGE WINE
This benchmark "orange wine" is a traditional style of Friulian Pinot Grigio winemaking, called the "ramato" (coppered). Like with red grapes, it's fermented with the skins for 8-14 days (depending on the vintage and plots), creating a coppery-pink hue. It's then aged in large Slavonian oak barrels for 18 months, and bottled unfiltered with a minimum of sulfites. This is for fans of 'naturally-styled' wines, with orange citrus, spicy clove and a hint of saddle leather; with a little grip of tannin and a humming acidity, it has a great balance of fruit, tangy lift and framing structure... a bit delicously drinkable, a bit serious! Try decanting or letting it open up in the glass a bit, and experiment with a range of flavorful, savory dishes.
