Tasting - Villa d' Orvieto

Name: Villa d' Orvieto
Variety: 50% Grechetto, 40% Procanico, 10% Malvasia
Region: Umbria
Country: Italy
Year: 2011
Price: $6.95
Tasting Date: February 28, 2013
Location: Vintage Cellar
Food Pairing: None

Winery Review: It’s a blend of Grechetto, Procanico (Trebbiano), and Malvasia. Fresh and crisp, it has a beautiful, floral bouquet. It is wonderful with appetizers, fish, chicken, and salads.

  My Thoughts: Watery clear color. Very floral nose, not very exciting. Some acidity with only mild flavors. Not picking up any fruity characteristics. Has an almost sweet feeling on the tongue. I am going to give this one a pass.
