Tenuta Le Velette
Rasenna Orviéto Classico Trebbiano
Orviéto, Terni, Umbria, Italy
This is the first time I've had this Rasenna wine. I am actually THOROUGHLY impressed by this wine. The nose is sweet, tropical fruit. The entry has the SLIGHTEST HINT of effervescence. Tropical fruit, rounded, rich. Acidity is actually rather low. The middle gains a little bit of kiwi and a lemon creme brulee. Finishes with vibrant tropical mango and guava, grapefruit, acidity really still in check. This one went well with grilled pork and a salad consisting of cheddar cheese, apples, nuts, shallots, cilantro and kale topped with an Italian Cilantro dressing, but it also went very well with NOTHING. I would love to try this entire lineup, and perhaps with the next round I will! Combo of 30 Trebbiano, 30 Grechetto, 20 Malvasia, 15 Verdelho, and 5 Drupeggio
