Vodopivec Classica 2005

There is a wine called Orange Wine.
No, it's not made of orange. It's white wine.

After white grapes are crushed, the must (grape juice) is usually send to the press immediately to avoid oxidation, but for the orange wine, the must is macerated with skins for days, or longer, and extracts color from the skins which makes the wine orange.

Orange wine once became out-of-fashion, but now some wineries in Northern Italy make this.

Vodopivec Classica 2005 
A wine from Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy.

The grape variety is Vitovska. 
I've never heard of this grape. They are grown near Italy/Slovenia border.

Beautiful color.
It had oxidation like Sherry and refreshingness at the same time. And pickled fruit.

It was my first time to try Orange Wine. 
Judging from the name and the color I expected light, fruit juice-like wine, so it was a bit confusing at first, then I became to like it. There were uniqueness and seriousness.
I'm not a big fan of Sherry-like oxidized wine, but enjoyed drinking this wine.
