Spiny wine

Posted on September 23, 2008 by RJ

Sergio Mottura, Orvieto DOC 2006 There are fresh tropical fruits and garden herbs in the nose. The mouth is rather broad with moderate acidity and a little warmth and a bit of astringent grip – a little disappointing. The grapes, Procanico, Verdello and Grechetto, are farmed on 123 hectares since 1292 and certified organic – The porcupine guarantees it. This vintage is bottled under screwcap. Estate bottled in Civitella d’Agliano 13% $9.69 at Bottle Barn Sergio Mottura
