Gebbia Ambratu — Terre Siciliane IGT Orange wine

🍊 Gebbia Ambratu — Terre Siciliane IGT

Flavor: orange peel, apricot, tea, almond, Mediterranean herbs, black pepper, beeswax and a salty/mineral quality. It has real tannic grip for a white, but bright acidity keeps it lively. Geraldine's Natural Wines

Customer pitch:

“It’s a Sicilian skin-contact white—Catarratto and Zibibbo, unfiltered, with orange peel, apricot, tea and herbs. It’s dry, slightly tannic and really saline, with bright acidity. And it’s a liter.”

The important thing: Terre Siciliane IGT simply tells you the wine is classified under the broad Sicilian geographical indication rather than a more specific DOC. So if you're writing the menu, “Ambratu — Terre Siciliane IGT” is exactly right.
