Poderi dal Nespoli, nestled in Emilia-Romagna, Italy, has been a stalwart in winemaking since 1929. Their 2023 Orange Wine, a blend of Trebbiano and Pinot Bianco grapes, represents a fusion of time-honored techniques and contemporary winemaking practices.
This innovative wine boasts an intense yellow-orange hue that catches the eye. Its complex bouquet unfolds with aromas of dried apricot, chamomile, ginger, honey, and hazelnuts. The palate is greeted with a structured complexity, featuring well-balanced acidity and soft tannins. Tasting reveals intriguing notes of star anise, juniper, candied fruit, and apricot.
The winemaking process involves 30 days of skin contact fermentation, followed by gentle pressing and 3-6 months of lees aging. This unique orange wine pairs exceptionally well with spicy cuisine, seafood appetizers, and pungent blue cheeses.
