Ruffino Orvieto Classico (2007)

Wine tasting 3

I am slowly but surely starting to discover a taste for Italian red wines, because it's not often that I get to taste Italian whites. Here's one that I thought was pretty good, and worth a try for a summer barbecue or a picnic. Needs to be really cold though.

Panel's rating: 10.88 out of 20




Price: N/A
Country: Italy
Grape: Grechetto 50%, Procanico 30%, Verdello 10%, Canaiolo bianco 10%

Colour: Straw yellow

Nose: Fresh and fragrant with delicate flowery notes of meadow flowers and clover accompanied by fruity hints of green apples and greengages.

Taste: Fresh and harmonious with good body and an aftertaste reminiscent of citrus fruits.
