Oxidative Wines

Oxidative Wines

Wines produced in an oxidative style represent a unique, intriguing, and special category that seems to belong to a different dimension. Often, oxygen can neutralize aromas; however, some expressions are deliberately crafted by working with this vital element. Oxidation, the basis of a meticulous and intentional production process, is a chemical reaction resulting from the wine’s exposure to air, the oxidizing agent, and defines the method used to create some of the most important national and international wines, such as Marsala, Vernaccia di Oristano, Malvasia di Bosa, Sherry, and Vin Jaune. Oxidative wines are rich, striking, and surprising—certainly not everyday wines, but “wines for contemplation,” as Veronelli said. They break traditional conventions, inviting a deep sensory experience to reveal layers of aromas, alcohol content, and that intense, complex flavor—a timeless soul beyond any era.
