Gioventu (meaning "youth") captures the energetic spirit of Sicily in this refreshing 'Macerato' skin-contact wine. Made from a blend of native Sicilian white grapes—primarily Grillo and Catarratto—this organic orange wine undergoes a brief maceration on the skins to extract its beautiful golden hue and gentle tannic grip. Expect bright, sun-drenched flavors of apricot skin, dried orange peel, and wild Mediterranean herbs, finishing with a thirst-quenching saline minerality that pairs perfectly with classic Sicilian seafood.

What is natural wine?
Natural wine is wine made with minimal intervention from the winemaker, using organically or biodynamically grown grapes and without the addition of chemicals or additives such as sulfites. The result is a wine that is unique, expressive, and often has a more complex and nuanced flavor profile than conventional wines. Natural wine is also often associated with sustainable and ethical farming practices, making it a popular choice for those interested in environmentally friendly and socially responsible products.
