Occhio di Sole – Marco Ludovico

An orange wine from pure Malvasia, natural and expressive, with the soul of the Gravine

Maceration, tradition, and depth

Occhio di Sole is a skin-contact wine made from 100% Malvasia, harvested from a vineyard planted in 1984. After destemming, the grapes are macerated on the skins for 15–20 days in small stainless steel tanks, using a natural, artisanal approach.

A wine with two faces

On the nose, it opens with sweet, enveloping aromas: candied fruit, honey, and ripe citrus. On the palate, it tells another story: refined tannins, freshness, and a distinct mineral backbone, true to the Terra delle Gravine.

Natural, unfiltered, and low in sulfites

No fining, no filtration: Occhio di Sole is a living, natural orange wine with less than 50 mg/l of sulfites. Fermented with native yeasts, it evolves in the bottle, telling the story of land, time, and craft.

Recommended pairings

Excellent with blue cheeses, white meats, fish soups, and roasted or grilled vegetables. Its complexity and structure make it ideal for bold, aromatic dishes.
