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.

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.

Beautiful white with really nice brightness and a hint of sweetness with the fruit and floral notes but not sugary at all.
