Wine Enthusiast

While orange wine gets its name from skin contact that gives it the color rather than the flavor, it happens that the Caruso & Minini is vibrantly citrusy on the nose at first, and then offers aromas of white flowers, white tea, yellow apple, melon and unsulphured apricots.The citrus blossom note is high toned and delicate, balanced by a toothsome quality from tannins. An ideal introduction to this style.

Description

The processing of Arancino begins in the first days of September with the harvest of the first bunches that have reached the desired ripeness. The selected and cut bunches are transported to the cellar where they are destemmed and crushed.

Fermentation begins spontaneously by the indigenous yeasts present in the skins. The maceration-fermentation, subsequently, lasts for over 20 days at a controlled temperature of 15 degrees. In this phase, the skins slowly give way to the wine color, structure and aromas.

A strong and important wine, golden yellow in color with soft coppery reflections. It has hints of candied citrus fruits and herbs typical of the Mediterranean.
On the palate the salinity and tannins harmonize with the extreme freshness, giving an elegant and persistent finish.

Orange Wine

Orange wine is a type of white wine that is made using a traditional method that is more commonly associated with red wine production. The grapes used to make orange wine are white wine grapes, but the juice is fermented with the skins, seeds, and stems for a longer period of time than is typical for white wine, often several weeks to several months. This extended skin contact gives the wine its distinctive orange color, as well as a fuller body and a range of flavors and aromas that are not found in traditional white wines. Orange wine is typically dry and can have a slightly tannic, rustic quality, with notes of stone fruit, nuts, and honey. It is sometimes described as having a "skin-fermented" flavor profile and is prized by some wine enthusiasts for its unique and complex taste. Orange wine is produced in limited quantities and can be more challenging to find than other types of wine.
