Altura Isola del Giglio Ansonaco

Incredible natural white from off the coast of Elba! Delicious.

Nicely skin contacted, not bludgeoned. Has fruit and length and elegance as well as tannin. Only had one bottle, wish I had more. Try it if you can get it

Nice orange wine. Skin contact lends nice color and texture but not at all overbearing. Nose is a bit funky but really nice on the palate - full bodied, great texture, medium minus acid but still all together. Nice.

Prominent ‘orange wine’ nose, which makes you think it’ll be kinda typical, but it is NOT. Deep flavors, complex, and rich with notes of bloody barbecue brisket, blood orange, and vegetation (rhubarb and celery) with medium tannins and a tart, dry finish that goes and goes! Most complex, refined and rich orange wine I’ve ever had.

New favourite wine. Skin contact. Salt dog

Why doesn’t Zalto have an Orange Wine glass?

ブリにピタり！！！

Bright orange with lots of tannins. Smelled like nail polish remover upon opening. But after decanting for 20 minutes, mellowed into delicious, drinkable, minerally, funkiness. Paired perfectly with fatty roasted marrow bones and a umami bomb soup. Another one from Keife.
