Orvieto Classico Superiore Calcaia shows an intense amber yellow color and nuances of amber yellow, transparent. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing, refined and elegant aromas which start with hints of raisin, dried fig and apricot jam followed by aromas of honey, candied fruits, almond, saffron, musk, quince jam, date, broom, lychee and nail polish. The mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a sweet and round attack, however balanced by alcohol, good body, intense flavors, pleasing crispness. The finish is persistent with flavors of raisin, honey and lychee. Orvieto Classico Superiore Calcaia ages for 12 months in steel tanks.
