A so called orange wine so much exciting as few. Pradarolo it's both a location and name of this phenomenal organic (organic for real) winery. Specifically this label - vintage 2007 - shows the number 270 which stands for the very long days of maceration (90 days pumping + 180 days submerged cap). After 16 months of aging in large oak casks + 6 months at least in the bottle, here we have this outstanding wine originated from 100% Malvasia di Candia Aromatica grapes. Despite (or because?) the extreme winemaking technique and extremely long maceration this golden beverage goes down simply as fermented grape juice to light up the eternal mind with the electric body. Though, pairing this wine with authentic Comté du Jura 10 months aged by a farmer from a fresh market in Lyon it is just a mystical experience. Thanks to my mate @Angelo Montagnoli

I dare you to open your mouth after you sip this. As for orange wine, this is my favorite.

Super funky "aranciono" wine, 2007. Extremely dry at the finish, interesting notes of rose and orange. Fun to drink, but "particulare..."

Dried apricots, fuyu persimmons, candle wax, creme fraiche, bread pudding, and probably more if I let this breathe for more than 1 hour. Unique.
