Brand: Azienda Agricola Cos
Orange wine is a type of wine which dates back
centuries and its origins can be traced to Armenia, Georgia and
Iran. It made a comeback in the eighties and nineties in the Friuli
region and is now also produced by COS in Sicily. Orange wine is a
white wine made from white grapes but in the way that red wine is
made. The normally discarded grape skins and seeds are introduced
back into the juice and vinified in amphorae with a long maceration
(anything from 4 days to over one year). There is very little
intervention on the part of the wine maker. Extended skin contact
gives the wine an amber to deep orange hue, in fact this type of
wine is also known as 'amber' wine or 'ramato' in Italian. So what
about the taste? Orange wine certainly tastes different to normal
white wine, it is soft and understated and intense at the same
time. It has a similar texture to red wines with tannin, depth of
flavour and more texture. Pithos Bianco is made from 100% Grecanico
grapes. The palate is complex, nutty & spicy with savoury,
mineral notes. This is a powerful and broad wine with hints of
peach, dried apricot, spice and nut flavours. Serve slightly
chilled, as an aperitivo wine (it is fairly low in alcohol) or to
accompany a wide range of foods including curry dishes, Moroccan,
Ethiopian, Korean, Japanese cuisine. Excellent with pasta dishes,
risotto wiith seafood, a variety of meats and grilled fish. You
