Gabriele d’Annunzio, Italian poet of the late 1800s, dubbed Orvieto “the sun of Italy in a bottle.”
Tasting notes: Early evenings on the back porch. Aromas of fresh flowers and citrus. Ripe green apple up front, sassy acidity, characteristic touch of mineral. A long finish, fragrant with almond.
Pairs well with: Piave Oro del Tempo cheese, shrimp scampi, mango spring salad, quiche, egg dishes
