The Orvieto Classico denomination is limited exclusively to the limestone cliffs on which the city of Orvieto is situated. The highly favourable terroirs and mesoclimes which distinguish Valley of the Paglia and the lower Tevere, are at the root of the natural endowments which have for centuries, yielded vintages of the freshest and most quenching white wines.

$2399each $287DOZEN EACH DOZEN Good spring temperatures and the availability of water encourage the sprouting of grape. Summer rains maintain vegetative equilibrium throughout the hotter months leading to veraison and ripening.
