A wine that defies convention, Terre Siciliane IGT Orange from Tenute Orestiadi tells the story and passion of a unique land. We are in the Belìce Valley, in western Sicily. This valley is characterised by a mosaic of soils – red, white and black – which, together with a particular microclimate with hot, dry summers and significant temperature variations between day and night, give the grapes distinctive organoleptic characteristics. It is made from 100% Inzolia grapes, a native Sicilian grape variety known for its versatility and adaptability. Traditionally used for fresh white wines, in this “orange” interpretation, Inzolia reveals a new, more complex and structured dimension. Production follows traditional and natural methods. The grapes, harvested manually in September, undergo spontaneous fermentation and maceration on the skins for 5 days, a process that gives the wine its characteristic amber colour and a more pronounced tannic structure. The wine is then aged on fine lees in steel tanks, acquiring complexity and roundness. It has a pale orange colour that certainly does not go unnoticed. The nose reveals hints of wild flowers, herbs, almonds and orange peel. On the palate, it is pleasantly smooth and savoury, with a nice acidity and notes of citrus, dried apricots, white peaches and sweet spices on the finish. Its great versatility makes it suitable for numerous food pairings. Perfect with strong-flavoured fish dishes, it also goes well with mushroom risottos, white meats cooked with aromatic herbs or citrus sauces, and semi-mature cheeses. For those who like to experiment, it also goes well with Asian cuisine.
