Orto Magnum by Orto di Venezia enhances the expression of this singular wine through its larger format, allowing for a slower and more harmonious evolution. The aromatic profile opens with layers of white fruit, citrus, and delicate mineral nuances, enriched by a gentle saline character. The palate is broad and elegant, with a long, balanced finish that highlights both structure and finesse.
A deeply golden white with iodine and sea breeze on the nose, alongside ripe golden apple, white flowers, honey, and almond. On the palate it is full-bodied and bold, with juicy orchard fruit giving way to a long, savory, mineral finish driven by the clay and Dolomitic rock of Sant'Erasmo.
Orto di Venezia is a decisively gastronomic wine, built for the table. It shines alongside the traditional dishes of the Venetian lagoon: seafood crudo, shrimp, grilled fish, and shellfish, but also Sant'Erasmo's famous violet artichokes, asparagus, fresh vegetables, and aged cheeses. Open the bottle early and serve slightly chilled.
Grown on Sant'Erasmo on ungrafted, pre-phylloxera vines in clay-rich soil laced with marine and Dolomitic sediments, this blend of Malvasia Istriana, Vermentino, and Fiano carries the unmistakable imprint of its lagoon microterroir: persistent, iodine-kissed, and deeply mineral. After spontaneous fermentation and two years in bottle before release, it rewards patience - floral, fresh, and savory all at once, with a palate of outstanding length.
