28 Feb Tasting - Villa d' Orvieto



Name: Villa d' Orvieto
Variety: Grechetto, Procanico (Trebbiano), and Malvasia
Region: Orvieto
Country: Italy
Year: 2011
Price: $6.95

Wine Shop 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 Review: Very light yellow color to this one, and the nose seemed to be almost nonexistent - I hardly detected anything, so I wasn't very enthusiastic for this one.  Despite the lack of a strong nose, the wine had floral, jasmine-like flavors and a heavier body than the previous wine.

I did not have food with this.
