ABOUT THIS WINE
Amber One is a natural orange wine from Sicily, Italy, produced by Cantine Rallo S.P.A. as a concept for Krut & Krut AB. Made from Catarratto grapes grown on the western coast near Alcamo, it is classified as Indicazione Geografica Tipica (IGT). This wine is characterized by its natural winemaking approach, being unfiltered, vegan, and produced with minimal intervention. The distinctive orange hue is achieved through a three-day skin fermentation of green grapes, followed by a secondary fermentation in steel tanks to develop light effervescence. Krut & Krut AB focuses on 'living wines' that express the grape's true character, with minimal sulfur and no added yeasts. The label for this 2024 vintage was designed by artist Elin Waak.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
Amber One is a natural orange wine produced using the Catarratto grape in Sicily. The winemaking process begins with a manual harvest of the grapes from vineyards on the western coast. The defining characteristic is a three-day fermentation with the grape skins, which gives the wine its amber color and a light tannic structure. Following this, a secondary fermentation takes place in steel tanks, resulting in subtle natural bubbles. The wine is bottled unfiltered and without any additives or clarification agents, adhering to a natural winemaking philosophy. Krut & Krut AB, the conceptual force behind the wine, emphasizes minimal intervention, including the avoidance of added yeasts and the use of only minimal sulfur, to allow the grape's true expression to shine through.
