Salvianno Orvieto Classico Superiore, Umbria, Italy

| | TrackBacks (0)
This is from an estate in Umbria, Italy, south of Tuscany. The owners are the San Guido family, who also own the famous Sassicaia. This is a blend, 30% Trebbiano, 30% Grechetto, 20% Chardonnay, 20% Sauvignon Blanc. It's done in stainless steel, so no oak present on the nose. It's light straw in color, bright wine. It has a bit of acid, and an interesting nutty taste from the Grechetto. About $15, and worth a try.
