2023 Cirelli Orange Wine

Francesco Cirelli crafts this expressive orange wine from organically grown Trebbiano grapes in Abruzzo, Italy. The destemmed grapes undergo an extended 30-day maceration in stainless steel tanks with minimal intervention—simple pumping over rather than punching down preserves freshness while allowing skin contact to showcase Trebbiano's potential. After soft pressing, the wine rests on fine lees in steel for 4 months and is bottled unfiltered. Made with indigenous yeast, this approach yields a wine that balances structure with incredible drinkability and vibrant character.
