Winery Review- "Bright straw yellow. Orvieto's fruity and floral bouquet is reminiscent of green apples and meadow flowers. This wine's smooth, refreshing flavors balance beautifully with its structure and acidity. Orvieto also offers a unique mineral character that comes from the chalky limestone soil called tufa. The finish is long and fragrant, with hints of almond.
Serve Ruffino Orvieto Classico as an aperitif. Or pair it with a wide variety of dishes including crostini topped by roasted tomatoes drizzled with olive oil and garnished with shaved parmigiano cheese; lightly grilled vegetables infused with fennel; thinly sliced prosciutto garnished with basil and olive oil; basic soups such as cold summer squash puree with a light truffle oil infusion; grilled fish with olive oil and rosemary; and mild cheeses such as mozzarella." - via Wine.com
Wine Folly- One of the top grapes in Italy and France, but you wouldn't know it because it's mostly used in the production of brandy or balsamic vinegar.
White peach, lemon, green apple, seashell, basil. (page 179)
My Review- The Ruffino Orvieto Classico is a delicious Italian white wine with lots of fruity notes. I detected flavors of ripe pear, green apple, and citrus as soon as I tasted the wine. Those flavors were complemented by a hint of almond and a refreshing acidity. Its crisp finish leaves a lingering sensation of freshness, making it a great choice for any occasion.
I tasted this wine on its own.
