Description
The grapes for the Vicoletto by Cantina Rallo are gently pressed, with 90% of the juice fermented off the skins in stainless steel tanks, while the remaining 10% undergoes skin-contact fermentation for 12 days. Both components ferment naturally using indigenous yeasts. After fermentation, the skin-contact portion is blended back in, and the final wine is bottled unfiltered, unfined, and without stabilisation or added sulphur.
This vibrant yet slightly hazy orange wine owes its appearance to a natural, minimal-intervention winemaking process—crafted without stabilisation, fining, or filtration, and containing only minimal sulphur. On the nose, it reveals an expressive bouquet of citrus, grapefruit, crisp apple, and white-fleshed fruits. These bright, fruity notes carry through to the palate, where they’re elegantly balanced by hints of Mediterranean herbs and a lively backbone of fresh acidity.

2022/23 Carte d’Or, Baumard, AC Coteaux du Layon, Half Bottle
Chenin Blanc
The Carte d'Or Coteaux du Layon from Baumard has a very attractive honeyed nose, with lifted yellow fruits and more golden tropical elements such as mango, guava and pineapple. It has a particularly tropical character and a very fresh feel on the palate, with steely minerality and a zippy background acidity giving invigorating tartness to keep the wine luscious and buoyant. The rounded, approachable finish has good length.
