Orange - Cantina Cinque Sensi

"Orange" - Cantina Cinque Sensi

Orange is a sensory journey born from the co-fermentation of three native varietals, united in an embrace that lasts an entire month in contact with the skins. It is here, in the silence of the prolonged maceration, that the wine draws its complex structure and that deep amber color that enchants the eye. The thermoregulatory influence of the lake basin provides a vibrant sip, where the almost "electric" minerality of the volcano blends with a dense, velvety tannic texture. After a year in stainless steel and a full sixteen months of bottle aging, Orange reveals a hypnotic bouquet of bitter orange peel, dried apricot, and delicate notes of medicinal herbs. It is an orange wine of character and terroir, demonstrating how patience can transform local grapes into an expression of rare depth, warm like the Lazio soil and fresh like the breeze blowing across the lake.

Service

It is advisable to taste it at a temperature of 8/10° in tulip goblets. Daily wine but left to rest in the cellar a few years can have a wonderful evolution.

Pairing

Great on a plate of raw seafood, to try with grilled calamari.
