Notes of crushed stone, moist mineral-laden earth, geranium and crushed apple rise up as the 2020 Orvieto Classico Superiore Castagnolo unfolds in the glass. Its silky textures usher in a savory display of herbal-tinged pear and young green melon. This finishes a bit short yet clean, leaving a flourish of minerality to hold your attention. The Castagnolo is a blend of 70% Grechetto and 30% Trebbiano Procanico.

A lively, light-bodied white, with lemony acidity backing flavors of crunchy white peach, stone and delicate flowers and herbs. Grechetto and Trebbiano. Drink now. 10,000 cases made, 2,000 cases imported.
