Inzolia Orange Orestiadi Estates

Tenute Orestiadi's Inzolia Orange wine is a fascinating expression of Sicilian viticulture from an area rich in history and tradition. Located in the Belice Valley, the Orestiadi Estates benefit from a unique microclimate, characterized by hot, dry summers and a significant temperature range between day and night. The vineyards are planted on predominantly calcareous and clay soils, which give the grapes distinctive organoleptic characteristics. Inzolia, a native Sicilian variety, is known for its adaptability and aromatic expressiveness, which in this wine is enriched with complexity and depth thanks to the "orange" production method. The production process of Inzolia Orange wine involves prolonged maceration of the skins, which gives the wine its characteristic amber color and a more pronounced tannic structure than traditional whites. After spontaneous fermentation, the wine is aged on fine lees for several months, acquiring greater complexity and roundness. This winemaking method, inspired by ancient winemaking traditions, allows to enhance the fruity and floral notes of Inzolia, enriching them with spicy and mineral hints. The result is a wine that tells of the Sicilian territory with authenticity, offering a unique and engaging sensory experience.
