{"product_id":"aureo-orange-dan-marioni-natural-wine","title":"Aureo Orange 2019","description":"\u003cp\u003eÁureo is a skin-contact wine made from estate-grown fruit in the Sonoma Valley AVA. The blend is 70% Merlot and 30% Chardonnay, sourced from Olson Ranch, a 3.5-acre cane-pruned Merlot block planted in 1994 by Phil Coturri. The Merlot vines are Clone 181 on Rootstock 5C, grown in gravelly loam clay soil at 500 feet elevation. The name Áureo means \"gilded\" or \"layered in gold\" in Latin, a reference to the wine's golden-amber color.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe winemaking technique is unusual: Merlot juice is direct-pressed and then fermented on Chardonnay skins rather than Merlot skins, making this effectively a macerated rosé rather than a conventional orange wine. The must is manually destemmed into an open-top fermenter, punched down by hand until dry, then basket-pressed into neutral barrel for eight months. Fermentation is spontaneous with native yeast, and the wine is unfiltered with no added sulfites. It is produced and bottled at Coturri Winery in Sonoma Valley.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Olson Ranch fruit is sustainably farmed, and all Marioni wines are made with a zero-additions philosophy: nothing added, nothing removed. The gravelly loam clay soils and 500-foot elevation of the site contribute to natural freshness and texture in the finished wine.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dan Marioni","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37810835194055,"sku":"DANMAURE19C","price":31.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/products\/dan-marioni-aureo-orange-natural-wine-primal-wine.jpg?v=1780186612","url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/products\/aureo-orange-dan-marioni-natural-wine","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
