What is Orange Wine? They are wines produced with white grapes, but vinified as red wines, that is with macerations (lasting from a few days to several months) of the must in contact with the skins and yeasts. This allows the wines to acquire tannins, polyphenols and aromatic and protein substances that make them different both from whites and reds from a visual, olfactory and tactile point of view. Also from the point of view of color, Orange Wine are different: because they are precisely "orange", with shades of amber color that vary depending on the structure of the wine and any aging in wood. On the palate they are decidedly more complex and structured than most white and rosé wines due to the higher level of tannins, but combined with a good freshness and flavor.
