Cantina Orsogna

Black cherries, blackcurrant, cinnamon and cloves, with soft tannins, fresh acidity and a long, soft and fruity finish.

Producer Information

Cantina Orsogna is an award-winning Abruzzo cooperative specialising in native grapes of the region such as Montepluciano d`Abruzzo, Cococciola and Pecorino. Orsogna are committed to the biodynamic principles by which they make their wine and have many certified Demeter biodynamic wines.

Under the brand Lunaria, they support the activities of the WWF LIFE Euroturtles project to protect turtles in the Mediterranean. The aim of the project is to improve the conservation status of the EU populations of two sea turtle priority species, the loggerhead turtle Caretta Caretta and the green turtle Chelonia Mydas.

Wine Making

The grapes were hand harvested, destemmed and whole bunch pressed. All growing and wine making was undertaken following Demeter certified wine making practices.

Tasting Note

On the nose, aromas of black cherry and violets leap from the glass. The palate is soft and smooth with notes of sweet black cherries and blackcurrant fruits combined with notes of cinnamon and cloves supported by lovely soft tannins. Well balanced with a fresh acidity and a long, fruity finish.

Food Matching

Great with tomato-based pasta dishes; char-grilled pork; cold meats; roasted Mediterranean vegetables.
