Description
The Inzolia Orange wine from Tenute Orestiadi is a fascinating expression of Sicilian viticulture, originating from a land rich in history and tradition. Located in the Belice Valley, Tenute Orestiadi benefits from a unique microclimate, characterized by hot, dry summers and a significant temperature variation between day and night. The vineyards are planted on predominantly calcareous and clayey soils, which impart distinctive organoleptic characteristics to the grapes. 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, giving the wine its characteristic amber color and a more pronounced tannic structure compared to traditional whites. After spontaneous fermentation, the wine is aged on fine lees for several months, gaining greater complexity and roundness. This winemaking method, inspired by ancient oenological traditions, enhances the fruity and floral notes of Inzolia, enriching them with spicy and mineral hints. The result is a wine that authentically tells the story of the Sicilian territory, offering a unique and engaging sensory experience. Pairings: Inzolia Orange from Tenute Orestiadi lends itself to interesting gastronomic pairings thanks to its structure and complexity. You might consider pairing it with dishes based on bold-flavored fish, such as seared tuna or smoked salmon. Another option could be a mushroom risotto, where the earthy flavors pair well with the wine's characteristics. White meats, such as chicken or turkey, especially when cooked with aromatic herbs or in citrus-based sauces, can make an excellent combination. Semi-aged cheeses, with a slight savory component, can also enhance the wine's qualities. Finally, for those who love to experiment, Asian cuisine dishes, such as a light vegetable curry or sesame and ginger noodles, can create a nice contrast and harmonize the flavors.
