Buccia Nera, an organic estate nestled in the heart of Tuscany, presents PA'RO, a distinctive Toscana Bianco IGT from the 2022 vintage. This expression exemplifies the burgeoning category of 'orange wines,' crafted through extended maceration of white grape skins with their juice. This traditional yet increasingly popular vinification method imparts a unique amber hue, enhanced phenolic structure, and aromatic complexity not typically found in conventionally produced white wines. The 2022 PA'RO reflects Buccia Nera's commitment to minimal intervention, allowing the inherent character of the Tuscan terroir and the chosen white varietals to shine through. The extended skin contact contributes to a wine of significant textural depth and a nuanced flavour profile, making it a compelling exploration for the discerning palate. Presented in a 75cl bottle.
Tasting notes
The Buccia Nera PA'RO 2022 presents a captivating deep golden to light amber hue in the glass. The aromatic profile is intricate, revealing notes of dried apricot, candied orange peel, and a delicate herbal undertone, complemented by hints of toasted almond and a subtle minerality. On the palate, it offers a remarkable textural presence, characteristic of extended skin contact, with a gentle phenolic grip that frames a core of ripe stone fruit and citrus zest. The acidity is well-integrated, providing freshness and balance to the wine's medium body. The finish is persistent, echoing the complex aromatics and leaving a clean, savoury impression. This is a wine that rewards thoughtful contemplation.
