Abbazia San Giorgio

Orange 2019

$44

This dry, skin contact white is made from the Zibibbo grape, known also as Muscat of Alexandria, which happens to be one of our favorite grapes to make into orange wine! Smells like Pantelleria-- full of sweet hints of apricot, citrus peel, dried fruit and honey are intertwined with salty and mineral tones. The sunny and Mediterranean freshness, the refined flavor and the silky tannins emphasize the sip with rhythm and vitality.

We love it with… 🥘🍗🌶
