Notes: Rich aroma of ripe fruit (green grape and lemon with hints of pear and melon) and minerals. Relatively full bodied with a nice round fruitiness (a balance of melon and grape with a bit of lemon) and a pleasantly chalky minerality. Moderately long minerally finish.
This is one of those pleasant surprises that somewhat random wine purchasing periodically offers up – a very pleasant, well made, surprisingly enjoyable and complex wine from an unassuming appellation at a very favorable price point. This wine offers a full richness balanced with nearly perfect acidity and minerality, yet it is priced such that it could be enjoyed as an every day table wine. I will certainly be seeking out other examples of this grape from Umbria
