ORANGE features a selection of macerations which invigorate and excite. Offering examples so filigree and fine they could be classified as genre-defying, alongside those with enough flesh and grip to stand up to the most robust of cooking, few wines are as versatile on the table as these.
GAZZETTA
Bianco Vignarola 2025
Lazio, Italy
Procanico from Trish’s old vines planted on volcanic soils in the hills above Bolsena. The grapes were destemmed and macerated on the skins for a week, before being pressed to vats for a year of rest. A brilliant shade of gold, with its fresh fruit, smoky minerals and effortless charm, this is a wine with a beautiful sense of place.

LE COSTE
Cocciuto Bianco 2024
Lazio, Italy
The only white they make entirely in amphorae, this is a blend of Procanico, Malvasia and Moscato from vines young and old. The grapes were destemmed and macerated on the skins for three weeks, before being pressed back to five hundred litre terracotta amphorae for ten months of rest. Light, bright and nimble, it is a wine of fluidity and purity, offering refreshing notes of citrus and stones.

CANTINA GIARDINO
Paski 2022
Campania, Italy
From seventy year old vines of Coda di Volpe planted around four hundred and fifty metres above sea level, it spent four days on skins before being pressed off to chestnut casks for a year. Hazy, straw yellow in the glass, it pairs a trio of ripe fruit, petroleum and minerals to beautiful effect.
