The copper-toned “Dinavolo” smells like orange rinds withering in the sun on a wet clay tennis court, with splashes of pineapple and mango. It tastes like eating tangerines and kumquats, with sips of a sour raspberry beer (preferably from the Rare Barrel, if I must say so myself). The blend of 25% Malvasia di Candia, 25% Marsanne, 25% Ortugo, and 25% mystery varietals is melodic and fluid but gritty and gripping with a warm and citrusy tannic finish.

Delicious example of a high tannin orange wine. Very aromatic and high in acidity, but for me this wine was about its texture. Grippy, tight, and chewy on the tannins. Super fun and unusual juice.

Orange wine. Cloudy in appearance, nose of tangerine pith, dominate flavors of must, funk (but not overly so), cherry pits and citrus. Bright wine is well balanced great acidity. Finish goes on and on.
