Orange Wine

An orange wine is a wine produced from white grapes vinified with skin maceration. In practice, the skins stay in contact with the must for longer, unlike what happens with a traditional white, and this gives colour, structure, aromas and a broader texture.

It is not a rosé. It is not a classic white. It is a side road, but one full of character.
Tenuta della Dainara Orange Wine I.G.T. Terre Siciliane Bianco is born from curiosity.

In the past, in farmhouse winemaking, white grapes were often vinified together with red ones. They macerated, mingled, took part in the wine in a different way from how we are used to thinking of it today.

This is where our question starts: what happens if we let only white grapes macerate, also working with aromatic varieties? The answer is a multifaceted wine, long-lived and at the same time immediate. A little seductive, yes, but in the best sense: it knows how to attract, intrigue, and make itself remembered.

On the nose it recalls a sweet wine, with an enveloping and inviting aromatic side. On the palate Etna arrives at once, with its minerality, its energy, its most volcanic side.
The sip is full, dry, savoury. It moves well among spiced dishes, cheeses, white meats, roasted vegetables, Asian cuisine and preparations with an intense flavour.

It is the right wine for those who love to be caught off guard, but without getting lost in anything too complicated.
