Borgo Savaian Masaret Orange

Masaret Orange feels like a walk through Friuli’s sunlit vineyards, where Pinot Grigio takes on a deeper, more expressive identity. This skin‑contact rendition leans into texture, letting its coppery hue and savory edges shine. You’ll notice how the wine shifts from bright orchard fruit to gentle spice, creating a rhythm that feels both rustic and refined. Its natural winemaking approach adds a faint haze, giving each pour a sense of authenticity and quiet charm. The wine carries Collio’s mineral backbone, offering clarity beneath its layered fruit. It’s lively, aromatic, and undeniably character‑driven. One sip often leads to curiosity, then another, and suddenly the bottle feels lighter than expected.

Tasting Notes: Nose Aromas open with dried apricot, peach skin, and a touch of orange blossom. A subtle herbal thread—something like sage or wild fennel—adds depth. As it breathes, hints of tea leaf and crushed stone emerge, creating a layered aromatic profile.

Palate: The palate lands with gentle grip, showcasing its skin‑contact structure. Flavors of nectarine, mandarin zest, and light spice unfold in waves. A savory undertone, reminiscent of almond or soft earth, adds complexity and keeps the wine grounded.

Finish: The finish stretches with citrus oil, soft tannin, and mineral clarity. A whisper of herbal warmth lingers, giving the wine a confident close. As it fades, notes of peach skin and subtle salinity encourage another sip.

Food Pairing: Pair this with saffron risotto for a rich, aromatic match. It shines alongside grilled vegetables, especially zucchini, peppers, and charred onions. Try it with roasted chicken seasoned with lemon and herbs. Soft, nutty cheeses like Asiago or aged goat cheese also complement its texture and lift.
