Tasting - Villa d'Orvieto

Name: Villa d'Orvieto
Variety: Grechetto, Trebbiano, Malvasia
Region: Orvieto
Country: Italy
Year: 2011
Price: $6.95

Critic 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:  I really loved this wine.  It didn't have a very strong smell, but there were hints of apple, pears and flowers.  The wine tasted very clean, crisp and simple.  I could taste the light fruity flavors, and it was not overly sweet or acidic.  This wine would go great with appetizers and seafood.

I tasted this wine without food.
