Few things are better before a heavy meal than a nice aperitif (or aperitivo). That’s why we were so excited to learn that the folks at SAVOIA are launching a new vino aperitivo inspired by the travels of Marco Polo called Orancio.

Like its previous releases, this new “amber” variant of the popular brand’s vegan aperitif wine was created by mixologist and brand innovator Giuseppe Gallo.

Orancio was crafted to pay tribute to thousands of years of traditional winemaking techniques. While contemporary wines have the skins removed after crushing, traditionally, orange wineskins are left to macerate, creating a unique citrus flavor.

According to the brand, this complex sipping aperitif is perfect for fans of citrus and ripe fruit aromas and flavors. This memorable aperitif gets added flavor from being infused with spices and flavors of the Silk Road traveled by Marco Polo. These include ginger, saffron, and even pomegranate. The result is a noteworthy expression featuring notes of orange peel, lime, bergamot, cape aloe, gentian, rhubarb, and more.

“SAVOIA Orancio pays tribute to the extraordinary Italian wine heritage,” Giuseppe Gallo said in a press release. “Our latest offering finds its roots in the cradle of viticulture with an authentic orange wine. Its flavor brings forth the spices from the east and citrus from the west, which is revived in every sip.”

If you don’t know about Iowa’s Cedar Ridge Distillery by now, you must not be paying much attention to the whiskey world. This award-winning distillery was founded in 2005 by Jeff Quint. Somehow, there hadn’t been a licensed distillery in the number one corn-producing state in the US since Prohibition.

It’s well-known for its flagship whiskeys, which include Cedar Ridge Straight Bourbon, The Quintessential American Single Malt Whiskey, and Cedar Ridge Wheat Whiskey (among others). It’s also known for its collaborations, partner products, special releases, and limited releases. Recently, the iconic brand added to the latter list of whiskeys with the launch of two new limited-edition whiskeys.

Taiwan's Kavalan Distillery is one of the world's most highly regarded whisky distilleries. While it has a nice range of flagship expressions and limited-release whiskies, it has never had an age-statement whisky. That all changes with the launch of its newest single malt whisky.
