Much of the agricultural activity at Il Censo was abandoned over the years, ultimately, Gaetano Gargano and his wife Nicoletta determined to reinvigorate the farming activity at Il Censo and, with the guidance of Giampiero, began by planting 5 hectares of vineyards. The grapes maintain contact with the skins for two to three weeks, the length of the maceration depending on the vintage; only indigenous yeasts are used during fermentation and no temperature controls are utilized; the wines are bottled without being fined or filtered.  This is a bold orange wine, maybe not your best entry-level orange.  Robust aromas of quince, ginger, and orange peel complement its heft and texture.
