Il Torbo - Simona Orsini Alessandro Tofanari

"Simona Orsini's Torbo is a macerated wine that stands out for its strong character and complexity. Made with Vernaccia grapes, this wine uses spontaneous fermentation in steel, followed by maceration on the skins which lasts about 8 months. This process gives the wine a unique freshness and an interesting flavor, as well as giving it a remarkable persistence on the palate. The choice to macerate the skins for such a long period allows the extraction of aromas and tannins which make this Vernaccia a different sensorial experience compared to more traditional wines. It can present notes of ripe fruit, citrus and spices, all accompanied by a light tannicity which makes it particularly versatile combined with fish dishes, white meats or cheeses. Torbo therefore represents an innovative interpretation of Vernaccia, perfect for those looking for a wine that tells a story and challenges conventions.
