Dinavolino - Vino Bianco 2020

An "orange wine", which is a white wine fermented with the grape skins like a red, and it's one of our favorites.  Made by La Stoppa's winemaker, Giulio Armani, this blend comes from 28-year old vines grown in Giulio's beautiful calcareous soils. The wine unfolds with sage and orange peel on the nose, followed by stone fruits and a hint of toffee, ending with a fine balance of tannins, acidity and a hint of dried herbs.  The finish last for several minutes past the first sip! .....Natural wine co.
