Orion Wines
Founded in 2010 by husband-and-wife team Alessandro Michelon and Elena Ciurletti, Orion Wines has built a reputation for producing great-value wines that showcase the diversity of Italy's wine regions.
One of Italy's most innovative winemakers, Alessandro combines extensive experience with a blend of tradition and modern techniques to craft approachable, flavourful wines. Elena brings her expertise in the UK market to develop creative, consumer-focused brands.
Orion sources grapes from vineyards across Italy, from the Dolomites in the north to the sun-drenched south, with key regions including Puglia, Sicily, Emilia-Romagna, Campania and Veneto. Sustainability is central to the company's philosophy. All wines are vegan-friendly, with no animal-derived products used in production. Orion also promotes biodiversity by encouraging beneficial insects and avoiding chemical pesticides. Their innovative pest-management approach uses pheromone disruption to prevent insect breeding, while natural vineyard practices and the avoidance of weed killers help maintain healthy, fertile soils.
