The Bar Journal

The world of aperitivo culture is about to get a vibrant new addition as SAVOIA Orancio gets ready to launch in the US. This latest expression from SAVOIA is a unique vino aperitivo inspired by Italy’s noble heritage and the adventurous spirit of Marco Polo. Drawing on the flavours and aromas of the East and West, Orancio encapsulates the essence of the legendary Silk Road in every sip and will be widely available to be enjoyed by US consumers from January.

What Makes SAVOIA Orancio Unique?

SAVOIA Orancio is an amber variant of the brand’s authentic, vegan aperitivo wine. Crafted by renowned mixologist and innovator Giuseppe Gallo, it draws inspiration from the ancient art of orange winemaking—a technique dating back over 8,000 years.

Unlike traditional white wines, orange wines allow the grape skins to macerate in the must for an extended period. This process creates a bold, flavourful wine with a distinctive amber hue. Orancio brings this timeless tradition to life with a modern twist, combining the rich notes of orange wine with exotic spices and vibrant citrus flavours.

A Journey of Flavour 

SAVOIA Orancio captures the spirit of Marco Polo’s travels along the Silk Road, weaving together eastern spices like ginger, saffron, and pomegranate with the bright zest of bitter orange, lime, and bergamot. The result? A complex yet refreshing vino aperitivo with an aromatic profile that’s truly unforgettable.
