Orviéto Classico Trebbiano Toscano Grechetto 2023

I grabbed this on the recommendation of @Sharon B
I would have thought this was reisling blind, due to a wee bit of rubber on the nose. I taste peach, pear, and macaroons. It's sweet. Most reviewers use the word "crisp", but this is neither crisp nor overly acidic. It's soft, and a bit flabby. If I had a dollar for every time I heard that.
Very enjoyable! Makes me want risotto for dinner.

Oh well I guess you did say enjoyable! When you said flabby and rubbery I thought you didn’t like it.

Nope, I gave it a 9 😊 I like a bit of rubber on the nose of white wines, it's character. And flabby is just the mouthfeel, neither bad nor good. I drank this expecting it to be Pinot Grigio-esque but I think it's Trebbiano? Naw, it was a very good recommendation. I'd do it again 😀 Cheers to you! @Sharon B

Modus Toscana Sangiovese Blend 2022

Old standby. I guess i haven't written about the 2022. This wine is softer than previous bottlings. Typical Sangiovese flavors, though the tiny bit of Cabernet Franc is apparent. Cherry, sweet tobacco, a bit heavy on florals, lower tannins but a lingering finish.

Terre Di Valfredda Trentino Pinot Grigio 2024

I don't know why I read other people's reviews when I'm posting. I think everyone who's commented on this wine have never had Pinot Grigio. I know that sounds demeaning ☹️
This wine is solid. Vibrant and acidic, with green apple, pear, and almond flavors. Gets better as it warms up.
And just so you know, I like the Ruffino better 😜

Orviéto Classico White Blend 2023

Blend of Trebbiano and Grechetto with some additional local varieties blended in. Light white gold color. Aromas and flavors of yellow apples/pears, lemon, white flowers, raw almonds and a touch of wet limestone. Nice touch of saline on the long and lingering finish. Lovely creamy texture. Excellent structure and crisp acidity. Outstanding value! Thanks for sharing, Chris B! — 5 months ago

Riserva Ducale Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2022

Clear, medium ruby in color; on the nose, it's clean with pronounced primary and secondary aromas of raspberries, balsamic, and wood smoke; on the palate, it's dry, with high acidity, high tannins, medium body, high alcohol, and pronounced primary and secondary flavors of red currant, cherries, and clay pots with a long finish. This wine is balanced and complex. Overall, I rate this wine as very good. Nellie likes it too. — 8 days ago
