Skin Contact, how many times have you heard this in recent years?
I imagine many, but the reality is that these words refer to a very ancient technique, typical of the Oranges or the great Reds of today.
Defining Orange as white wines that think they are red is therefore as funny as it is appropriate.
The technique basically consists of prolonged contact over the days between the skins and the must, which gives very particular aromas and colors to the wine, especially if combined with a product obtained from white berries; in fact, the grape skins release the substances they contain, making the wine more complex, both on the nose and on the mouth.
These long macerations do not represent the last frontier in terms of winemaking but rather the first, as it is the main technique used in Georgia, probably the cradle of wine.
Maceration on the skins is a technique also present in Western Europe, finally back in the limelight and of which traces were more or less lost with the advent of the Modern Era and new cellar machinery that immediately eliminates the skins, for a faster and clearer extraction.
The certification on the quality of these wines is obtained precisely from the fact that the grapes come from a type of sustainable farming, respectful of the environment (therefore without chemicals) and of the final customer, as everything found on the skins then flows into the glass.
They are wines suitable for long aging, not always easy, but so rich in aromas and flavors that they make every sip a real experience.
