ABOUT THIS WINE
Amber One is an orange wine from the Terre Siciliane IGT appellation in Sicily, Italy, produced by Cantine Rallo. It is made exclusively from the indigenous Catarratto grape. The wine's unique amber hue and character are a result of fermenting the white grapes with their skins for three days, a technique that provides structure. Cantine Rallo, with a history dating back to 1860, is a family-run winery that emphasizes a responsible and sustainable approach to viticulture. The Vesco family, current stewards of the estate, have guided the winery with a focus on respecting local traditions while embracing innovation. This orange wine represents a distinctive expression of Sicilian winemaking.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
Amber One is produced using a natural winemaking style. The Catarratto grapes undergo fermentation with their skins for three days, with spontaneous fermentation utilizing indigenous yeasts. Some production notes indicate the use of 30% whole bunches. Following fermentation, the wine is bottled unfiltered and without the addition of additives or animal products. Cantine Rallo's approach is rooted in organic farming practices and a commitment to environmental sustainability and balance within their Sicilian estate.
