Pale amber from five days on the Inzolia skins at Tenute Orestiadi. The nose leads with orange peel, wild flowers and herbs, with the clear almond note the producer flags. Decanter's James Button called the 2022 floral and pithy, with an appetite-stimulating orange-zest lift.

- Taste profile
Soft and savoury with a firm acid core, this drinks closer to a light red than a white. Spontaneous fermentation and skin contact leave a gentle, raspy fruit-tannin grip alongside citrus, dried apricot and white peach. Medium-bodied and dry.
The finish is dry and lightly tannic, with orange-peel bite and sweet spice; Decanter noted an almond-skin grip on the 2023 that some drinkers will find assertive.
A characterful organic Sicilian orange wine from Gibellina that Decanter rates 88 to 89 points and Vivino drinkers score 3.8 across 117 ratings: a fun, divisive aperitivo style for raw fish and aged cheese, best drunk young rather than cellared.
Buying Orange Inzolia Organic in the UK
UK listings here run about £14.75 to £18 a bottle for the 2024 and 2025 vintages, both certified organic. That places this Sicilian skin-contact wine among the more affordable orange wines on the shelf.
How Orange Inzolia scores for food, value and ageing
An 88 to 89-point Decanter wine at £14.75 to £18, this organic Inzolia rates highly for food versatility and value and lower for cellaring: a fresh, aperitivo-friendly orange wine rather than a keeper.
Skin-contact texture, gentle tannin and a bright acid core span aperitivo, raw fish, white meat and spiced plates, an unusually wide table for a sub-£18 wine.
An 88 to 89-point Decanter organic orange wine at £14.75 to £18 is strong value, well below the £30-plus many skin-contact whites command.
Organic, sub-£18 and food-flexible, it is an easy midweek aperitivo, though the orange style is more characterful than a neutral house white.
Orange wine's tannic, savoury grip is a polarising style; Decanter warns the fruit-tannin bite may be too much for some, so it is not the easiest entry point.

Perfect Pairings
Dishes that complement this wine
Aperitivo, raw fish and aged cheese: what fits Orange Inzolia
The skin-contact grip and orange-peel acidity make this an aperitivo and raw-fish wine: the producer points to peppery pecorino and sushi, Decanter to smoked fish, pork and chicken.
Sicilian aperitivo, almonds and aged cheese
The orange-peel and almond aromatics and a savoury, lightly tannic grip mirror peppery pecorino and stretchy caciocavallo. The wine's firm acid core keeps rich, salty cheese fresh, which is exactly the aperitivo role the producer recommends.
Try with: Caciocavallo farcito · Arancini · Pecorino pepato · Caponata · More pairings →
Sushi, sashimi and raw fish
Five days on the skins give a tannic, savoury frame and citrus acidity that carry raw fish and rice where a plain white thins out. Both the producer and Decanter point this wine at raw fish; the skin-contact texture handles soy and saline notes.
Try with: Sashimi · Sushi · Tempura · Crudo di mare · More pairings →
Roast chicken, porchetta and pork
Medium body and gentle fruit tannin from skin contact give the wine enough grip for roast white meats without the weight of a red. Decanter pairs it with pork and chicken, and the orange-peel lift cuts the fat of porchetta.
Try with: Roast chicken · Porchetta · Pork belly · Herb-roast chicken thighs · More pairings →
Smoked fish and cured pork
Orange-zest bitterness and a firm acid core cut the oil of smoked fish and the fat of cured pork, while the skin-contact grip stops fatty charcuterie coating the palate. Decanter singles out smoked fish for this style.
Try with: Smoked mackerel · Smoked salmon · Mortadella · Speck
Spiced North African and Levantine plates
The herb, almond and orange-peel aromatics bridge cumin, coriander and harissa where a tannic red would clash, and the gentle skin-contact tannin copes with chickpea and grain dishes that flatten crisp whites.
Try with: Falafel · Chicken tagine · Couscous · Grilled halloumi · More pairings →
Fierce chilli heat and sugary desserts
The dry, lightly tannic finish has no residual sugar to absorb capsaicin, so fiery chilli heat reads as harsher, and the savoury orange-peel grip fights sweet puddings rather than flattering them.
Skip with: Vindaloo · Sichuan hotpot · Nashville hot chicken · Sticky toffee pudding · Pairing guide →
Drink it young: cellaring Orange Inzolia
Fermented and aged only in steel with no oak, Orange is built for early drinking, and Decanter's window for the 2022 closes around 2026. Enjoy the 2024 and 2025 within roughly three years of the vintage.
Best in the years above; holds without falling over either side.
Fermented and aged only in steel for early drinking; Decanter's windows close around two to three years from the vintage, so there is little cellar upside.
£14.75 is the lowest tracked offer for the current vintage and we have no signal of further discounting.
