Calalta, Davvero - Orange Riesling IGT Veneto, 2023

Calalta’s Davvero is a distinctive orange wine from Veneto that brings a fresh, modern twist to an ancient style of winemaking. Made with the skin-contact approach that gives orange wines their character, it offers an expressive, textural alternative for drinkers looking beyond classic white wine.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a deeper golden to amber hue, reflecting its time spent on the grape skins. The nose is likely to be aromatic and layered, with notes of citrus peel, dried apricot, herbs, and a subtle floral or tea-like edge. On the palate, expect a dry, structured wine with more grip than a conventional white, balanced by bright freshness and savory complexity. The finish is usually long and food-friendly, and while this style can be enjoyed young for its vitality, it also has the structure to develop further nuance over a few years.

Production
Produced in Veneto, this orange-style wine is shaped by skin contact during vinification, which adds color, texture, and aromatic depth. The region’s climate supports ripe fruit expression while preserving enough acidity for balance, and the winemaking approach emphasizes extraction and character rather than simplicity.

Food & Serving
This is a versatile food wine that works particularly well with roasted poultry, aged cheeses, mushroom dishes, Mediterranean vegetables, and spiced cuisine such as Asian or Middle Eastern plates. Serve it lightly chilled, around 10–12°C, and decanting for a short period can help open up its aromas and soften the texture.

Producer
Calalta is a producer from Veneto focused on characterful wines that reflect both regional identity and a contemporary outlook. With Davvero, the winery highlights the growing interest in orange wine and brings a distinctive expression to Italy’s premium wine landscape.
