Tasting Villa d' Orvieto




Name: Villa d' Orvieto
Variety: Blend of Grechetto, Procanico (Trebbiano), Malvasia
Region: Orvieto
Country: Italy
Year: 2011
Price: $6.95
The Vintage Cellar Review: It’s a blend of Grechetto, Procanico (Trebbiano), and Malvasia.  Fresh and crisp, it has a beautiful, floral bouquet.  It is wonderful with appetizers, fish, chicken, and salads.  
My Review: The smell is mostly floral and not too fruity.  The taste is smooth and crisp but without too many flavors, as if the peel of a fruit was soaked in water, but the actual fruit was not turned into juice.  If wine was a person, I would say this one was a child; it feels youthful and makes my mouth feel pretty watery.
