{"product_id":"muscatedda-orange-marabino-naturral-wine","title":"Muscatedda Orange 2020","description":"\u003cp\u003eMuscatedda is the local Sicilian name for the first vineyard harvested in Val di Noto. The wine is made from Moscato di Noto (Moscato Bianco), the only native white grape of the territory, grown in a single west-facing vineyard in Contrada Buonivini at 65 meters above sea level. The soil is white calcareous limestone, which reflects light and contributes a saline quality to the wine. Moscato di Noto is historically used for sweet passito and fortified wines; this is the dry, skin-contact version.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrapes are hand-harvested and fermented spontaneously with native yeasts in steel tanks with the skins for approximately 15 days. The wine then matures in steel tanks through the following spring, with continuous bâtonnage performed on fruit days according to the lunar calendar. No oenological additives are used at any stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result is a golden-orange wine with a fine tannic texture unusual for the variety. Aromas lean toward orange blossom, apricot, grapefruit peel, and dried Mediterranean herbs, backed by a mineral, saline finish driven by the white limestone soils. The 15-day maceration adds grip without heaviness, keeping the wine dry and linear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarabino farms all vineyards biodynamically under certified organic management. The estate is in Contrada Buonivini within the Noto DOC zone in southeastern Sicily, near Syracuse. The wine is labeled Terre Siciliane IGT.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Marabino","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36089382305944,"sku":"MARAMUSC19C","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/products\/marabino-muscatedda-sicily-natural-wine-primal-wine.jpg?v=1780186923","url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/products\/muscatedda-orange-marabino-naturral-wine","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
