Savoia Orancio
SAVOIA ORANCIO, is the first ever Aperitivo with Orange Wine. Giuseppe Gallo was inspired to create SAVOIA ORANCIO from an ancient winemaking practice that dates back over 8,000 years: the creation of orange wines in terracotta amphorae, originating in Georgia. Unlike white wines, where the skins are removed after crushing, when making orange wines, the skin is left to macerate in the must for an extended period. The long maceration gives life to a fuller and persistent orange wine. The prolonged contact with the skins results in a unique aromatic profile and the peculiar orange hue of the wine.Savoia Orancio / link
