About this wine

Grapes

Grechetto from Umbria.

Technical data

Umbria IGP dry white wine. Alcohol: 12.5% vol. The listed available vintage is 2019.

Tasting profile

Bright straw yellow with golden reflections. Subtle aromas of honey, ripe melon, yellow fruit and aromatic herbs unfold over a vanilla background. These impressions return on the palate, balanced by pleasant freshness and softness, with good persistence.

Serving and pairing

Serve at 10–12 °C. Pair with traditional pasta dishes such as gricia and carbonara, or with white meats.

Label / history

The label depicts Orvieto’s Olmo quarter. Piazza San Giovenale is home to the Romanesque Basilica of San Giovenale, built in 1004 over an earlier Etruscan temple dedicated to Jupiter and subsequently transformed into an early Christian basilica dedicated to Narni’s first bishop. The square also contains the Church of Sant’Agostino, founded by Augustinian friars in 1264 and now used as a branch of the Museo dell’Opera del Duomo.
