Tasting notes

Three white grapes — Southern Italian Falanghina, Rhone Grenache Blanc, and Chardonnay — processed together as an orange wine is a genuinely unusual combination, and San Benito County's gravelly Tres Pinos Creek soils bring a mineral backbone that keeps the texture from going heavy. Two weeks of skin contact gives the wine grip and dried citrus peel character without sacrificing the floral lift that Falanghina is known for.

Piantagrane Arancione is a skin-contact orange wine from Deux Punx made from a blend of Falanghina, Grenache Blanc, and Chardonnay grown at Siletto Family Vineyards in Tres Pinos, San Benito County. The grapes are farmed organically in gravelly loam soils along Tres Pinos Creek, running roughly along the Calaveras fault south of Hollister. The name translates from Italian as "Orange Hellion."

Whole destemmed clusters were macerated on the skins for approximately two weeks with minimal punch-downs. Fermentation proceeded spontaneously with native yeasts, and the wine aged for six months in neutral barrels. No fining, no filtration, and minimal added sulfites.

Falanghina, a Southern Italian white grape, leads the blend alongside the Rhone-variety Grenache Blanc and Chardonnay. The combination of three white grapes processed as an orange wine results in a textured, amber-colored wine with bright acidity and grip from extended skin contact. Deux Punx produces this wine at Punk Dog Wineries, a shared warehouse facility in Napa's River East neighborhood.

San Benito County sits within California's Central Coast AVA, roughly 30 miles inland from Monterey Bay. Afternoon marine breezes push through gaps in the Gabilan Mountains, moderating inland heat and preserving acidity in the grapes. The Siletto vineyards along Tres Pinos Creek are planted on well-drained gravel and silt soils over seismically active terrain.

The tannin and acidity from skin contact make this a natural fit for dishes with fat and salt: think charcuterie boards with aged hard cheeses, grilled whole fish with herb oil, or a plate of roasted root vegetables with tahini. It also stands up well to spiced Middle Eastern or North African food where most whites would struggle.

Important Compliance Requirements

FedEx and other carriers we might occasionally use can only deliver wine to customers who are 21 years or older. Someone must be at the address to receive the package, carriers don't just drop a package and leave. They must ensure the person receiving the wine is 21 or older.


Re-shipping a Package

If a package is returned to us after three failed delivery attempts, we can only re-ship the wine upon payment of a re-shipping fee, to be determined based on the shipping address and number of bottles. Shipping wine is extremely expensive. We are sorry about this, but we have no other choice. Please make sure there's always someone at the address you enter as your shipping address.

If you'd like to receive a refund for a package that was returned to us after FedEx made three delivery attempts, we can do that but we must keep a $20 refund fee; FedEx charges us a lot of money for returns, unfortunately, I can't stress this enough.

If you'd like to reroute a package after it's been shipped, we can do so for a $20 re-routing fee. We cannot re-route a package across state borders. For any change of address, please contact us as soon as possible, ideally within 1-2 days from placing the order or we cannot guarantee we'll be able to reroute or change your order's shipping address.


Canceling an Order

If you'd like to cancel an order after it's been shipped, we can do so upon payment of a small cancellation fee – the amount depends on the size of the order. Carriers charge us a lot of money to recall a package en-route.


Heat/Frost damage

We are not responsible for heat- or frost-related issues. We offer ice-packs upon request. Please let us know if you think that there could be heat-related issues. If we don't hear anything from you regarding weather issues before an order is shipped, or if you don't request a hold due to the weather, we are not responsible for heat/frost damage.

Producer profile

Deux Punx

Deux Punx was founded in April 2008 by Dan Schaaf and Aaron Olson. Schaaf is a co-owner of a water resources engineering firm; Olson is a software engineer. They began producing wine in 2007 with 60 cases and have operated from Punk Dog Wineries, a shared warehouse facility in Napa's River East neighborhood, since 2009. Production runs approximately 700 to 800 cases per year.

All Deux Punx vineyards are farmed organically, though not all sites hold formal certification. The Falanghina, Grenache Blanc, and Chardonnay in this wine come from Siletto Family Vineyards in Tres Pinos, San Benito County — a multi-property operation founded by Ron Siletto, who passed away in 2020 after nearly 40 years farming the region. The vineyards sit on well-drained gravel and silt soils along Tres Pinos Creek and feature over 30 grape varieties, with particular strength in Italian varieties.

Deux Punx follows the same production protocol across their range: spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts, minimal sulfite additions, aging in neutral oak at ambient temperatures, and no fining or filtration. The Piantagrane Arancione undergoes approximately two weeks of skin maceration with minimal punch-downs before pressing and six months in neutral barrels.

Wine region

San Benito County, United States

San Benito County is part of California's Central Coast AVA, located approximately 30 miles inland from Monterey Bay. The climate is moderated by marine breezes that push through gaps in the Gabilan Mountains, which separate San Benito County from Monterey County and the Pacific coast. Long, sunny days during the growing season are tempered by late-afternoon ocean winds, producing significant diurnal temperature swings that retain acidity in the grapes.

The county contains seven AVAs including San Benito, Cienega Valley, Lime Kiln Valley, Paicines, Mount Harlan, Chalone, and Pacheco Pass. Soils are geologically diverse — shifting from gravelly loam alluvial fans along creek beds to limestone, granite, and sandstone — shaped by millennia of seismic activity along faults including the San Andreas and Calaveras. The region was historically the principal source of grapes for Almaden Vineyards before boutique producers began drawing attention to its eclectic, organically farmed sites.
