Armonia Orange Wine 2018 - 500ml

The Arneis grape is indigenous to the Piedmont region and shares a close history with wider known Nebbiolo grape. For centuries, it was used to soften the tannins of Nebbiolo. Often planted together in the same vineyards, Arneis would be strategically used to distract insects, birds and other small animals away from the more valuable Nebbiolo vines.

It was therefore no surprise when Guiseppe and Kyriaki found vines of Arneis when they bought their first vineyard of Nebbiolo online. They saw this as a challenge too good to ignore! Armonia was made with the idea of creating a delicate wine with more immedaite aromas compared to those made from prolonged maceration. This blend of Arneis and white Moscato has a strong sense of balance and harmony, giving delicate perfume aromas and a captivating orange colour.
Val di Sole began when biologist Giuseppe Amato and electronic engineer Kyriaki Kalimeri happened to meet during a sommelier course. With a common passion and fascination for wine and its history, they started to study how to make wine too. As complete amatuers, they bought their first vineyard in 2015 on a website specialising in second hand things; half a hectare of abandoned and shabby Nebbiolo.




Today, they are continually experimenting with new and old practices to create unique and exciting wines. Their main principle for all of their wines is that from the vineyard to the winery, the only ingredient of their wines is the fruit. They follow strict natural practices throughout their processes, avoiding the use of synthetic chemicals.
