The nose is distinctive and aromatic, showing orange peel, dried apricot and a hint of herbs. On the palate it’s dry and structured, with gentle tannins giving a light grip alongside bright acidity. Flavours of citrus, stone fruit and a subtle tea-like note carry through to a long, savoury finish. Unusual, characterful and surprisingly food-friendly.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"744\" data-end=\"857\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eItaly\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"758\" data-end=\"761\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eSicily IGP\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"775\" data-end=\"778\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSub-Region:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003en\/a\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"793\" data-end=\"796\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrape(s):\u003c\/strong\u003e 80% \u003cem\u003eInzolia, 20% Zibibbo \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"824\" data-end=\"827\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003e12.5%\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"837\" data-end=\"840\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFriendly:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eVegan, Vegetarian, Organic\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"859\" data-end=\"895\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAwards \u0026amp; Critics' Scores\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"887\" data-end=\"890\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e91 points – Falstaff\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e90 points – WeinWirtschaft\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"897\" data-end=\"1453\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Story\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"910\" data-end=\"913\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eOrange-utan sits in Cortese’s Nostru range and is very much the estate’s playful, modern take on Sicilian orange wine. The winery presents it as a Terre Siciliane bianco made from Inzolia and Zibibbo, with the label and name leaning into a more fun, characterful side of the range. Even so, the wine itself is grounded in the local story – native grapes, organic production and a style that balances sunshine, texture and freshness rather than trying to be overly funky or hard work.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1455\" data-end=\"1502\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect With… (click me for the recipe)\u003cbr\u003eMeat\/Fish:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Spiced fish with fennel, orange and herbs\" href=\"https:\/\/hedleywright.co.uk\/blogs\/fish-recipes\/spiced-fish-with-fennel-orange-and-herbs\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSpiced fish with fennel, orange and herbs\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1544\" data-end=\"1547\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVegetarian:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/hedleywright.co.uk\/blogs\/vegetarian-recipes\/roast-cauliflower-with-tahini-lemon-and-toasted-cumin\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Roast cauliflower with tahini, lemon and toasted cumin\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eRoast cauliflower with tahini, lemon and toasted cumin\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1595\" data-end=\"1598\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVegan:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/hedleywright.co.uk\/blogs\/vegan-recipes\/carrot-chickpea-and-preserved-lemon-traybake-with-herbs\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Carrot, chickpea and preserved lemon traybake with herbs\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eCarrot, chickpea and preserved lemon traybake with herbs\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hedley Wright Wine Merchants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57100042830197,"sku":null,"price":15.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0622\/1558\/5953\/files\/7F6A8177-291E-4E37-9BE8-EC6EAD2CEB6D.jpg?v=1777037582","url":"https:\/\/hedleywright.co.uk\/products\/azienda-cortese-orange-utan-orange-wine-2024-terre-siciliane-igp","provider":"Hedley Wright Wine Merchants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
