Orange One is the skin-contact cuvee from Paraschos, the Greek-rooted family estate at San Floriano del Collio in the Gorizia hills of Friuli-Venezia Giulia. It is a blend of Ribolla Gialla, Friulano and Malvasia Istriana in roughly equal parts, grown on the marl-and-sandstone soils locally called ponca. The grapes ferment spontaneously and macerate on their skins, after which the wine ages for around two years on its fine lees in large Slavonian oak barrels and is bottled unfiltered, as noted on the label ('NON FILTRATO'). It carries the Venezia Giulia IGT designation and is bottled at the estate; the 2015 is 12.0% alcohol.
