Buccia

Buccia is a unique skin-contact orange wine produced under the Terre Siciliane IGT. Crafted by Iconic Wines, a modern négociant founded in Sweden in 2015, this wine is born from a close collaboration with certified organic estate growers in Sicily. The name 'Buccia' translates to 'skin' in Italian, highlighting the defining winemaking method of this cuvée. Consumers frequently misspell or phonetically translate the name to 'Bugia' (meaning 'lie'), but the true essence of this wine lies in its skin contact. The grapes are sourced from high-altitude volcanic vineyards on the slopes of Mount Etna, where the mineral-rich soils of lava sand and pumice impart a distinct volcanic character to the indigenous Carricante grape.
