Camporella Orange IGT 2022

Wine Description for Camporella Orange IGT 2022 by Le Masse

Colour & Appearance

Darkly luminous orange with warm golden reflections and a hint of lively cloudiness – a wine that doesn’t hide its nature, but wears it openly.

Nose

Complex and inviting in equal measure: ripe peach and mandarin zest with their characteristic bitter-fresh skin form the fruity foundation. Beneath this runs an earthy thread of forest floor and undergrowth, accompanied by subtle smoke traces – like the memory of a dying campfire. Cedarwood, pale tobacco leaves, juniper, rosemary and sage lend the bouquet a balanced, Mediterranean spice.

Palate

The entry is forceful and juicy, whilst simultaneously austere and refreshing – a captivating tension that makes this wine so vibrant. The acidity is precisely structured, well-integrated and animatingly invigorating. Not a gram of excess, not a hollow moment.

Finish

Long and multi-layered: The bitter fruit and spicy depth from the nose return completely in the aftertaste and fade with pleasant bitterness.

Grape Variety & Vinification

100% Trebbiano, hand-harvested. Fermentation and two months‘ maceration on the skins in 800-litre terracotta amphorae, exclusively with natural yeasts from the vineyard, without temperature control. Subsequently six months‘ ageing in the same amphorae, followed by at least four months in bottle. Minimal intervention – maximum expressiveness.

Food Pairing Suggestions

A wine that demands character: grilled octopus with lemon and herbs, spicy pasta alla Norma, braised vegetables with Provençal herbs or robust cheese selections such as aged Pecorino. Also a memorable experience as a standalone aperitif with charcuterie and olives.

Special Characteristics

A consistently natural orange wine from Tuscany that combines the ancient tradition of amphora vinification with modern consciousness. Not a compromise wine – but a wine with conviction.
