The Story
A magnificent Central Italian natural orange wine displaying a beautiful, hazy amber-orange hue. Masterfully crafted by Italian winemaker Maurizio Castelli and Master of Wine Gabriele Gorelli, this low-intervention, certified organic "Senza Rete" (Without a Net) expression honors ancient Tuscan traditions by making wine completely free of additions or subtractions. Produced with extended skin maceration, natural wild-yeast fermentation, no added sulfites, and bottled without fining or filtration, it opens with a highly aromatic, distinctive bouquet of dried citrus peel, orange blossoms, and bruised yellow orchard fruit. The complex nose is layered with regional characteristics of wild chamomile, dried apricot, crushed wet stone, and savory mountain herbs. On the palate, it balances a structural, medium-bodied stone fruit core and a vibrant, linear marine acidity with a gently textured, phenolically complex mouthfeel, concluding in an exceptionally clean, dry, and mouthwatering finish marked by a distinct streak of salty Mediterranean minerality.
Food Pairing: Pairs flawlessly with aged hard cheeses, rich seafood stews, roasted poultry, aromatic Asian cuisine, or earthy mushroom risottos.
