Orviéto Classico Trebbiano Toscano Grechetto 2023

I grabbed this on the recommendation of @Sharon B
I would have thought this was reisling blind, due to a wee bit of rubber on the nose. I taste peach, pear, and macaroons. It's sweet. Most reviewers use the word "crisp", but this is neither crisp nor overly acidic. It's soft, and a bit flabby. If I had a dollar for every time I heard that.
Very enjoyable! Makes me want risotto for dinner.

Oh well I guess you did say enjoyable! When you said flabby and rubbery I thought you didn’t like it.

Nope, I gave it a 9 😊 I like a bit of rubber on the nose of white wines, it's character. And flabby is just the mouthfeel, neither bad nor good. I drank this expecting it to be Pinot Grigio-esque but I think it's Trebbiano? Naw, it was a very good recommendation. I'd do it again 😀 Cheers to you! @Sharon B

Brecciaro Ciliegiolo di Narni 2017

Welcome Ciliegiolo from Umbria- a unicorn varietal. Dark crimson color, crushed red fruits & cassis on nose; on palate medium plus acidity, medium body, a gorgeous texture- fine grained tannins, so some grip. Blackberries & black currant fruit. Really, really good. — 5 years ago

Flirts with, but does not quite enter orange wine territory. The skins definitely make their presence felt, but there is also a range of citrus and flowers, a bit of nuttiness — 6 years ago

Orviéto Classico Dry White Blend 2017

Forgot just how nice Orvieto is. First had this in the town of Orvieto quite a few years back. Fruity like a Alsatian Riesling yet more acidic and less sweet. Just lovely. This one a great value. — 8 years ago

Margaret River Cabernet Merlot 2018

Plagiarised this a bit but perfect description Purple, almost black, and dense in colour, it is warm and inviting with typical Margaret River's terroir notes of eucalypt, Aussie bush, bay leaf, all sorts/licorice confection, spice and ripe black fruits. Plush and seamless. — 5 years ago

Tenuta Le Velette

Rasenna Orviéto Classico Trebbiano 2017

This is the first time I've had this Rasenna wine. I am actually THOROUGHLY impressed by this wine. The nose is sweet, tropical fruit. The entry has the SLIGHTEST HINT of effervescence. Tropical fruit, rounded, rich. Acidity is actually rather low. The middle gains a little bit of kiwi and a lemon creme brulee. Finishes with vibrant tropical mango and guava, grapefruit, acidity really still in check. This one went well with grilled pork and a salad consisting of cheddar cheese, apples, nuts, shallots, cilantro and kale topped with an Italian Cilantro dressing, but it also went very well with NOTHING. I would love to try this entire lineup, and perhaps with the next round I will! Combo of 30 Trebbiano, 30 Grechetto, 20 Malvasia, 15 Verdelho, and 5 Drupeggio — 8 years ago

Orviéto Classico White Blend 2023

Blend of Trebbiano and Grechetto with some additional local varieties blended in. Light white gold color. Aromas and flavors of yellow apples/pears, lemon, white flowers, raw almonds and a touch of wet limestone. Nice touch of saline on the long and lingering finish. Lovely creamy texture. Excellent structure and crisp acidity. Outstanding value! Thanks for sharing, Chris B! — 5 months ago

Amelia Syrah Viognier 2021

A funny choice to put on the wine list for a Mediterranean restaurant, but very nice for what it is... On the nose this is first an foremost honeyed... A very soft raspberry... On the palate, the raspberry is front and center but concentrated... Like really concentrated... Like fruit roll up concentrated... It burns a bit... No candied elements... This is the real deal. I like it. — 4 years ago
