Orvieto DOC
Overview
- VINTAGE 2004
- Umbria has long been renowned for white wine, thanks mainly to the historical prominence of Orvieto. Orvieto was once the most celebrated of Italian whites as a semisweet or abbocato wine, praised by the Popes, princess and painters. But as tastes changed Orvieto was modified from a soft, golden wine into a pale, pure, crisp creature of modern enology. In Umbria, the modern Orvieto is a commercial success as one of Italy's best-selling DOC whites with a solic following abroad.
