Barberani
Luigi e Giovanna Orviéto Grechetto Blend
Orviéto, Terni, Umbria, Italy
An Orvieto that keeps saying stories after 12 years is already a win
Lean, lacking the fruit, but pretty complex and broad
Not a cheap Orvieto though
At a restaurant it could cost 50 euros or more the new release

Tasted blind. I guessed a 2012 from Emilia Romagna. Pretty pleased with myself. Correct vintage and I was only out by a hundred miles or so.
As for the wine, it is at its peak, aging a little. Rich with slight oxidation elements and petrol. Viscous texture. Quite akin to many a Burgundy.

This wine needs a little bit of airtime to develop. Deep golden hue. The age gives it a bit of hotness that needs to blow off
My favorite part of this wine is the butterscotch richness. Unique and divine.

Really like this wine. Pale golden color
It’s got good depth with some butterscotch flavor and a roundness suggesting good oak integration. Not overwhelmingly sweet though it has some richness to it.
