Food Paring
biscuits, fruit tarts, fresh fruits without too much acidity (strawberries, peaches, pears) and also shellfish and fish in sauce, spicy cheeses.
Tasting Tips
The wine, with a bright, pale gold colour, is notable for its strong bouquet of wild flowers, honey and musk, with hints of bitter almonds; it has a medium sweet flavour, very soft, but fresh and lively with a gentle aftertaste of ripe fruit. It is an Etruscan style blend of Trebbiano Toscano, Verdelho, Grechetto, Malvasia Toscana and Drupeggio grapes.
Winery
Orvieto has been a celebrated wine since antiquity, especially in Rome where it abounded in the dining rooms of the prelates and at the banquets of the Vatican nobility. The modern story of Orvieto is closely linked to the birth of the Wine House of Luigi Bigi in 1880. Thanks to the commercial instincts of Luigi Bigi, its founder, this classic wine travelled the world acquiring approval and fame.
