from the slopes of Sicily’s Mt Etna. Fruity, flavorful, balanced, and well structured, with a long lasting finish. Excellent with tonight’s roasted Halibut. — a month ago

Blend of Inzolia, Graciano, Grecanico and Chardonnay. Dark straw color. Love the “Rhenish-style” bottle. Aromas of applesauce, white flowers and chalk. Zesty lemon/lime and intense mineral notes on the palate with hints of unripe peach, apricot, cantaloupe and honey. Medium-body and finish with crisp/bracing acidity. Viscous texture. Fresh and vibrant! — a year ago

Azienda Agricola Cortese “Orange-utan” Bianco Terre Siciliane IGT 2023 – Sicily, Italy 🇮🇹

Overview
An expressive Sicilian orange wine made from 80% Inzolia · 20% Zibibbo, produced from organic grapes with extended skin maceration that gives the wine its amber hue, grip, and layered complexity. Inzolia brings structure, savory tension, and citrus backbone, while Zibibbo contributes aromatic lift, exotic spice, and floral intrigue. Vegan-friendly and sustainably farmed, this is a textured, gastronomic orange wine built more for the table than casual sipping.

Aromas & Flavors
Dried apricot, orange peel, and mandarin oil. Subtle tropical notes from the Zibibbo with hints of jasmine and white flowers. Warm baking spice, ginger, and light tea leaf. Gentle nuttiness and herbal tones. A savory citrus peel finish that keeps the palate engaged and curious.

Mouthfeel
Medium-bodied with noticeable phenolic grip from skin contact. Bright acidity keeps the wine lively and prevents heaviness. Light tannic texture adds structure and food compatibility. Dry, persistent finish with a pleasantly savory edge. Energetic, layered, and tactile.

Food Pairings
Excellent with earthy and umami-driven dishes: Grilled or roasted portobello mushrooms. Semi-aged cheeses and washed-rind styles. Roasted vegetables with herbs and olive oil. Mediterranean mezze and antipasti. Spiced poultry or vegetarian dishes. A natural bridge between white wine freshness and light red structure.

🍷 Personal Pick
Orange wines aren’t about easy comfort, they’re about curiosity, texture, and pairing power. This one delivers beautifully: expressive without being funky, structured without heaviness. It truly shines alongside food and invites slow exploration rather than casual sipping.

Did You Know?
Inzolia is one of Sicily’s most important indigenous white grapes, prized for structure and citrus-driven freshness, while Zibibbo (Muscat of Alexandria) brings highly aromatic floral and exotic fruit character. Skin-contact fermentation extracts tannins, color, and savory complexity, giving orange wines their distinctive texture and gastronomic versatility. — 4 months ago
