2021 Cantina Giardino Chainzano Orange

The 2021 Cantina Giardino “Chainzano Orange” is a compelling orange wine from the Irpinia hills of Campania in southern Italy, crafted with natural-winemaking techniques that emphasize terroir and character. Made with skin-maceration on white grapes (the exact varietal isn’t always specified in listings) and minimal intervention, this wine offers an expressive bouquet of dried apricot, citrus rind, wild herbal hints and a gently nutty mineral edge. On the palate you’ll find lively acidity, fine tannic structure and a savory, slightly textural finish that highlights the coat-contact nature of the wine. Serve it chilled but not too cold (around 10-12 °C) alongside grilled shrimp, saffron risotto, mature goat cheese or a vegetable tagine for delicious pairing opportunities.
