Bright straw yellow. Orvieto s fruity and floral bouquet is reminiscent of green apples and meadow flowers. This wine s smooth, refreshing flavors balance beautifully with its structure and acidity. Orvieto also offers a unique mineral character that comes from the chalky limestone soil called tufa. The finish is long and fragrant, with hints of almond. Serve Ruffino Orvieto Classico as an aperitif.
