2021 Cantine Bigi Secco, Orvieto Classico DOC Italian White Wine
Vineyards have been cultivated in Umbria, “the green heart of Italy” and a crossroads between the north and the south, between the Adriatic and Tyrrhenian Seas, since Etruscan times. When we speak of Orvieto, we think of a beautiful walled city built on a tuffstone mound by the Etruscans, and known in the Roman era as Urbs Vetus (old city) - but also of the prized white Umbrian wine of which Bigi has been a leading producer for many years.
Wine tasting:
This wine is pale yellow in colour and has an attractive bouquet with the fresh fragrance of blossom and traces of musk and almonds. The flavour is dry with a lingering aftertaste of peaches and bitter almonds.
