Fattoria AL FIORE / Arancia 2023 (Orange) 750ml

Many of you may be familiar, but Delaware is one of the table grapes widely cultivated throughout Japan.
Why do we make wine from table grapes? One major reason is that one of our key missions in winemaking is to "protect the grapes of neighboring farmers."
Over time, with changes in breeding and trends, demand has greatly shifted, and the value of Delaware is declining compared to before. Many farmers are responding by cutting down, replanting, or going out of business.
Nevertheless, we feel that the potential of Delaware and Steuben, indigenous grape varieties unique to Japan, is great when making wine in Japan.
They are very different from wine grapes grown in Europe, and making wine from them is not easy for various reasons.
However, in terms of widely introducing Japanese wine to the world, we want to continue focusing on Delaware and Steuben grapes.
Although gradually, this trend is already being accepted by people overseas.
We also feel that many fans of Delaware and Steuben grapes support Alfio re.
Please try to enjoy this Arancia from an objective perspective, without preconceived notions about the grape variety, and appreciate it with an open mind.
The process involves fermenting Delaware grapes in an amphora for 130 days, then pressing, returning to the amphora, sealing after fermentation ends, and aging oxidatively for 3 months. After that, it is aged in old barrels for 6 months before bottling.
At this point, it is still slightly firm, but if you let it rest a little before drinking, I think the flavor will become more harmonious.

The color and design of the wine label and capsule seal may change.
Also, the vintage may differ from the product images if not specified in the product name or description.
