Get to know: Rallo Vicoletto Orange wine

Tasting Note

Bright, breezy and full of personality Vicoletto orange wine is a slice of Sicilian sunshine. Expect zesty citrus, peach and apple fruit and a whisper of wild herbs on the nose, with a dry, mineral palate and a slightly salty tang that makes it wickedly moreish. There’s no oak, just the pure, clean character of the grape – think lemon peel, green apple, and a touch of almond on the finish. 10% of the wine is fermented on skins for 12 days. Bottled without fining or filtration.

Food pairing ideas:

  • Brilliant with a simple vegan lemon risotto or grilled courgettes

  • Loves fried white fish with a squeeze of lemon

  • Try it with mild, creamy cheeses like mozzarella or a soft-rind goats’ cheese

Kate Says

"This one's all about easy charm – soft peachy fruit, gentle florals, and a breezy, no-fuss vibe. Feels like a laid-back stroll through a Sicilian market."

Producer Info

Vicoletto orange wine is a new project from Rallo Azienda Agricola. Catarratto grapes are grown in sandy soils high up in the hills of Alcamo, where vines are protected from the extremes of the island heat and take advantage of the greater diurnal range, allowing the vines to ripen more gently. Andrea Vesco practices a sustainable approach of organic farming. In these fertile soils, vines have been cultivated in Alcamo for more than 300 years. Grapes are hand harvested earlier in the year than many of their neighbours which produces their customary bright, fresh style of wine.

This Orange wine is bright yet slightly cloudy in colour thanks to the natural approach to winemaking; with no stabilisation, fining or filtration resulting in a wine with very low sulphur levels.
