Castelfranci and Montemarano / Campania // Italy

Marco leaves the Fiano juice on skins for just 2 days, yielding one of our favourite orange wines.

Orange wines come in countless shades and styles. This is light, almost golden with notes of apricot, almonds, crushed dried flowers and a touch of saline minerals.

Marco's role model is Chateau Rayas and short of making a direct comparison, this is often sensed in the balance between an enormous concentration and complexity paired with an impressive finesse and great storage potential.

About the Producer

Whilst everyone is instagramming wines from Frank Cornelissen, take a sneaky punt over here.   Marco Tinessa’s story is not your average Italian winemaking story. He has no family vineyards nor centuries-old roots. A bank manager in Milan, this project grew out of his obsession with natural wine and passion for the Taurasi region in Campania.

Marco and Frank forged a friendship in Sicily before the he set up the Ognostro label in Campania. Ognostro came to be when he bought a single vineyard of Aglianico near Montemarano. With the help of his mentor and friend, the iconic Frank Cornelissen, whose eponymous winery in Sicily has become a standard bearer for Italian natural wines, Marco decided on two grapes, aglianico for a red and fiano for a white. Just like his mentor, Marco prefers fermentation in clay amphorae or high-density polyethylene tubs as they “prevent any influence on the wine and the terroir”.

A biological philosopher in the vineyard, Marco harvests very low yields and takes an all around hands-off approach to winemaking. The wines are extremely limited in production, and have become cult favorites over the years. In addition to his spectacular Ognostro Rosso, Marco today produces a rich and textural Fiano, a fresh and vibrant Falanghina, and an entry level Aglianico.
