Orange

From three parcels in three different contrada on Etna's eastern slopes between Milo and Sant‘Alfio, this blend of 90% Carricante and 10% ‘other local varieties’ undergoes a spontaneous fermentation with two days of skin contact, followed by ageing for 10 months in tonneaux. There's a golden hue in the glass, with bruised apple, spice and demerara scents lifted by some white flowers. In the mouth it's very bright, vibrant and vertical, its fuller body carrying flavours of caramelised apple, apricot skin, mango and peach, with a salty, limey twist on the long, fresh finish. Impressive stuff.
