(2025) An example of an orange/amber wine, where white grapes - in this case Inzolia and Zibibbo - have been macerated to extract colour and other phenolic compounds from the grape skins. The colour is attractive and the Zibibbo, aka Muscat, marks the nose with a leafy and floral character. Herby and bright, it strikes the palate with fruit sweetness, but that is quickly subsumed by plenty of endive and chicory-like bitterness, Seville orange peel and grapefruit, a mineral tension from volcanic soils adding to the freshness and intensity. I'd say this style is not for everyone, but if you like the sound of it, it certainly offers something a little bit different. Watch the
