Demarie “Sabbia”, Roero, Piedmont, Italy

The golden color reflects the name, Sabbia, which means sand. Maceration with the skins develops layers and textures that otherwise wouldn't exist. Dried apple, peach and apricot, give way to sage, chamomile, and saffron. Finishes a little nutty but not oxidized, a very clean example of an "orange" wine.
