Tasting - Villa d'Orvieto


Name: Villa d'Orvieto
Variety: Grechetto, Procanico (Trebbiano), and Malvasia
Country: Italy 
Year: 2011
Price: $6.95


Vintage Cellar Review: 
Fresh and crisp, it has a beautiful, floral bouquet. It is wonderful with appetizers, fish, chicken, and salads.

My Review: 
My first impression was honey - in both taste and smell. My friend noted, "This tastes like if I just chewed on flowers." This wine was light and very simple, not overwhelming in flavor or body. I struggled to pinpoint an exact taste, but found myself returning to honey, particularly the taste of honeysuckle flowers. It was nice, but didn't leave a lasting impression.
