Score: ✧✧✧✭❂ |
The wine shows a brilliant greenish yellow color and nuances of greenish
yellow, very transparent. The nose denotes intense, clean, pleasing and
refined aromas which start with hints of pear, apple and broom followed by
aromas of jasmine, pineapple, hawthorn and plum. The mouth has good
correspondence to the nose, a crisp attack and however balanced by alcohol,
good body, intense flavors. The finish is persistent with flavors of pear,
apple and pineapple. Orvieto Classico Poggio Calvelli ages for 2 months in
barrique.
