Orange wines are wines produced from white grapes whose must-wine is left in contact with the skins for days, weeks or even a few months. In practice: a white wine vinified as you would with a red wine. The result is not only the characteristic color, which differs from the "normal" shades of whites, which range from straw yellow to gold. This process, in fact, allows the wines to acquire tannins, polyphenols and aromatic and protein substances that make them different from both whites and reds.
The origin of Orange wines seems to be traced back to what is now Georgia thousands of years ago. Here, wines were macerated in Kvevri, clay containers very similar to the amphorae used today.
