A BIT OF HISTORY

Despite what the name might suggest, orange wine is not made with oranges. C “Alma is a type of wine obtained by leaving the skins of two different white grape varieties and the grape seeds in contact with the juice during fermentation.” This process is much more traditional in red winemaking, which explains the depth of color and complex flavors of red wines. It produces a wine with an orange/amber color, hence the name “orange wine”. The skin contact method used for orange wine production imparts a distinct profile, characterized by robust flavors and a bold tannic structure not typically found in conventional white wines. This technique also contributes to the wine’s unique color spectrum, ranging from deep yellow to vibrant orange and amber hues. Thanks to their pronounced flavors and structure, orange wines are known for their versatility in “pairing with a” wide range of foods. They can complement traditionally difficult wine pairings, such as spicy cuisines and hearty, substantial meals.
