Pianogrillo Flaneur

Oh orange wine, orange wine, where for art thou? ( I know the proper term is skin contact wine but it didn’t sound right in the intro LOL).

I have been exploring all kinds of skin contact wine lately from different regions, varietals and maceration duration. One thing remains the same, I LOVE the savory, fresh profile.

Flâneur is the creation of Pianogrillo. Made from 100% Grillo, it undergoes a short skin maceration of 5 days following a fermentation in s for 5 days in stainless steel. Why? Well for one you extract the fresh aromatics from the skin and texture and also keep this aromatics fresh in stainless steel.

This is a young lass, full of purity and life. She has a Sicilian edge to her that creates a savory, fresh and engaging experience. The curtains match the drapes 100% - seaweed salinity from the sea, pink grapefruit and orange zest, freshly cut lemons, ripe yellow apple, spring blossoms, white peach, apple, pear, dried herbs( thyme, rosemary) white pepper, bread dough, honey and ginger creamy texture. Its bright, light and lively to drink .

It’s so lovely with fried clams, shellfish ciopinno, asparagus quiche or goat cheese tartlets.
