Plani Arche Gordito is an organic orange wine produced in the Umbria region of central Italy. It is crafted as a natural expression of the Grechetto and Trebbiano grapes, emphasizing the historical winemaking traditions of the area. The release is intended for those seeking a textured white wine with the structural characteristics typically associated with skin-contact maceration.
The production follows organic and biodynamic principles, with the grapes undergoing several days of skin contact in stainless steel tanks. This maceration period allows for the extraction of tannins and color from the skins without the heavy influence of oak. No chemical additives or industrial yeasts are used during fermentation, and the wine is bottled with minimal intervention to preserve its varietal character.
The profile is defined by an aromatic and slightly rustic nose of dried apricot, orange peel, and wild herbs. On the palate, it displays a medium-bodied structure with a distinct tannic grip and notes of bruised apple, tea leaves, and a savory mineral undertone. The texture is noticeably grippy, leading into a dry finish characterized by a pleasant bitterness and lingering citrus pith.
Gordito is well regarded as an approachable entry into the category of Italian orange wines. It is part of Plani Arche’s focus on sustainable agriculture and minimal-intervention cellar practices. The wine is a reliable choice for those exploring the intersection of traditional Umbrian viticulture and modern natural winemaking.
