Score: ✧✧✧❂ |
The wine shows an intense greenish yellow color and nuances of greenish
yellow, very transparent. The nose denotes intense, clean and pleasing
aromas which start with hints of pear, apple and hazelnut followed by
aromas of hawthorn, broom 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 apple, pear and
plum. This Orvieto Classico ages in steel tanks.
