Buy this wine because it’s Olivier’s revolutionary approach to winemaking and desire to break the rules that sets him apart. His love of rule breaking found an outlet in such a traditional region as Bordeaux, hence the creation of Bel a Ciao, letting his imagination play. Made in the same way as a red wine and protected with carbonic ice during the filling process, there is 2 weeks of skin maceration of the Semillon grape must to extract the orange colour, before a gravity fed run off into a separate tank for 6 months at 5°C until bottling.

It pairs great with spicy food or citrus based dishes
