Product description
Orange by Abbazia San Giorgio is a remarkable natural wine made from 100% Zibibbo, grown on 60-year-old vines cultivated using the traditional alberello pantesco method on the volcanic island of Pantelleria. This ancient practice is recognized by UNESCO as intangible cultural heritage. The vineyards are farmed biodynamically, without synthetic chemicals or fertilizers. The loose, mineral-rich volcanic soil gives the wine its distinct character.
Harvested by hand in early September, the grapes are destemmed and gently crushed. Fermentation begins spontaneously with indigenous yeasts – a hallmark of natural winemaking. After a short maceration on the skins, which imparts the wine's orange hue and structure, it is aged for at least six months in both stainless steel and chestnut barrels. Annual production is limited to just 10,000 bottles.
The nose reveals aromas of apricot, citrus zest, dried fruit, and honey, with a salty, mineral backbone. On the palate, Orange is vibrant and savory, with fine tannins and Mediterranean freshness. It pairs beautifully with shellfish, fish, foie gras, blue cheeses, or poultry. Serve at 12–14 °C for full expression.
Wine purchased via Onwine comes directly from the winery. All wineries pack the bottles themselves and hand them over to our shipping partner. Onwine works with boxes the size of 6 or 12 bottles.
To guarantee safe delivery, it is therefore also a requirement that orders are always made in multiples of 6 bottles.
