ORANGE WINE

The Orange Wine wines are different from all the others: they are not white, nor red, but as the name says orange, although most of the time they are a beautiful bright amber color. The color derives from the particular vinification technique, which was born in Giorgia, cradle of wine, more than 5000 years ago. The technique consists in leaving the white grapes in contact with their skins for a period ranging from a few days to a few months depending on the grape variety used, and both the vinification and the aging take place very often in the typical terracotta amphorae . A vinification as used for red wines, which serves to make the wine much more complex both on the nose and on the palate, where we will have rather strong and impacting aromatic notes, with a tannic sensation on the palate, unusual if one thinks that it goes white grapes. The pioneer of Orange Wine in Italy, was certainly Josko Gravner, who is not satisfied with the production of his wines, decides to go to Giorgia to learn how to make wine according to local traditions, which consist in putting macerating wine in large amphoras of terracotta that remain buried in the earth for months or years. Take home some of those amphorae and start using them to make Ribolla Gialla. A wine that will give birth to the Orange Wine movement in Italy. Today among the best producers of Orange Wine we find: Terpin, Radikon, Podversic, Vodopivec, to stay in Friuli, while in the rest of Italy there are: Dettori, La stoppa, Bajola, and many others. Finally, it is recommended to taste them at a temperature of 14/16 °, and to open the bottle some time before putting it on the table. The pairing possibilities are extensive, combined with raw fish, exotic cuisine, red meat and game. In short, the Orange Wine wines are not for all palates, some love them others hate them.

"Ambras" by Francesca Barracco is an excellent example of how a wine can reflect not only the terroir but also the philosophy of artisanal production. The vinification, with a maceration of the skins for six days and a spontaneous fermentation in small steel tanks, are indicative of a meticulous and respectful approach, which enhances the fruit and its natural environment. When tasted, "Ambras" offers an enveloping sensory experience, with notes of ripe fruit, citrus and a light sweetness of honey, balanced by a lively acidity and a flavor that recalls the sea. The presence of light tannins makes the sip elegant and gastronomic, ideal to accompany a variety of dishes. "Ambras" is not just a wine to be tasted, but a true sensory journey that tells the story of a territory, a variety and a passion for wine that is reflected in every sip.
