Amber One, Natural wine from Sicily

Amber one is a natural wine (orange wine) from Sicily and the producer is CR Spa Soc Agr Marsala. It is made with 100% Catarratto. The maceration was for three days and only "natural" yeasts were used. Will this natural wine be the first natural wine that I like. So far I had one decent natural wine and then several bad ones. 

Grapefruit and peach on the taste and a lot of yeast on the aftertaste. Feels very unripe and is not to my liking. Probably needs another year of storage to get rid of the over dominating yeast taste. Yet another bad natural wine.

Radikon, natural wine from Italy

For the first time I have tried what it is called a natural wine. it is the wine Radikon Slatnik 2013 by producer Azienda Agricola Radikon.This is what is also called orange wine because of the colour of the wine. This wine if from the Italian region of Friuli-Venezia-Giulia. There is no temperature controlled fermentation for this wine for example only what the producer called "natural" methods.

So how does it taste. First the colour is very deep orange. One can almost believe that it is a cider in the glass. The smell is strong and goes towards apples. Now the taste is like a weak cider. A lot of apples and sharpness but without the freshness of a very good cider from Normandy. It is drinkable but all the time I wonder why shall I drink it since I can get a cider that tastes much better than this wine. One thing I don't usually mention is the price. This wine is very expensive and I can get many bottles of cider for the same price. This is not for me but may be interesting for some people.
