Organic Sicilian Orange Wine Gift

Get to know: Cortese Organic Sicilian Orange Wine Gift

Description

This is a wine that sparks curiosity and conversation from the very first pour. Cortese’s organic Sicilian orange wine, made from Inzolia and Zibibbo grapes, has a glorious amber hue that comes from extended skin contact during fermentation. The result? A wine that is as vibrant and intriguing as it looks. Presented in a smart gift box, it’s a brilliant choice whether you’re looking for something different for a birthday, anniversary, or Valentine's Day.

The aromas are wonderfully inviting – think orange peel, dried apricot, wild herbs and a hint of spice. On the palate, it’s zesty and dry, with layers of citrus and stone fruit, a gentle grip from the tannins, and a clean, savoury finish that makes it refreshing as well as complex. It’s the kind of bottle that opens doors to new flavours for adventurous drinkers, yet still feels utterly approachable. A gift that combines originality, craftsmanship, and a splash of Sicilian sunshine.

Why they’ll love it:

• Something Unexpected – An organic Sicilian orange wine with real wow factor – ideal for wine Valentine's presents or a special birthday gift
• Brimming with Flavour – Orange peel, apricot, herbs, spice and citrus all layered together in a fresh, textured sip
• Food-Friendly – Versatile with mezze, garlicky pasta, or aromatic fish dishes – a talking point at any dinner
• Sustainable & Organic – Made using traditional techniques and certified organic vineyards
• Ready to Impress – Gift-wrapped and beautifully presented, this is a thoughtful choice for adventurous wine lovers

What’s Inside?

Cortese Nostru Orange-Utan 2024, Sicily, Italy – 12% ABV, Organic

Organically grown Inzolia (macerated for 2–3 weeks) and Zibibbo (macerated for 6 weeks) are fermented on skins at controlled temperatures, with gentle daily punch-downs during fermentation. Left on fine lees for 3 months before bottling, the result is an amber-hued wine full of citrus, stone fruit, wild herbs and spice. Dry, textured and wonderfully refreshing with a savoury finish.
