Yes, you lose some of the fruity/floral qualities of the Nero d'Avola/Frappato blend when you put in amphora. But you gain such texture and earthiness that it's worth it, especially with some age. The acidity? Don't worry, still there.

Got this at a tasting two nights ago and just remembered I had it open. Love this wine. It's strange....tart, bright red fruit, bracing acidity, delicious, and perfect with food.

Meh. It's not you, it's me. I think my interest in Orange wine has waned. Solidly made and intense, typical oxidative flavors.

Fresh raspberries, pomegranate, underripe strawberries, white pepper, graphite, clay. Snapping rounded acidity, minimal narrow smooth velvet tannins, light-medium bodied, juicy texture, tart red berries-smoky-slightly peppery finish. Drinks more like a white wine, highly aromatic and mineral driven. Minimalism at its best.

Jan 18th, 2017Sun tea and ripe cherry aromas that remained on the mid palate. Bright opening with a medium acidity, lingonberry jam & green stem finish. Paired well with the acidity of tomato sauce and richness of mozzarella in a spinach/sausage lasagne. Mellowed on the second night without losing its character.

Jan 25th, 2014Raspberries, wild strawberries, graphite, white pepper, haystack. Vibrant acidity, minimal smooth velvet tannins, light unfiltered body, juicy texture, tart fruity finish. Highly aromatic, highly enjoyable on its own or with light pasta dishes.
