Tasting - Villa d'Orvieto

Name: Villa d'Orvieto
Variety: Grechetto, Procanico, Malvasia
Region: Orvieto
Country: Italy
Year: 2011
Price: $6.95

Winery Review: It’s a blend of Grechetto, Procanico (Trebbiano), and Malvasia. 
Fresh and crisp, it has a beautiful, floral bouquet. It is wonderful with appetizers, fish, chicken, and salads. 

My Review: Both the explosive aroma and flavor of this wine gave me the distinct impression of common, green grapes one would eat. It was very smooth, with almost no acidity or bitterness. I noted what seemed like some interesting oak flavors. This was extraordinarily drinkable and while it didn't offer a wide array of flavors, the smooth, simply grape taste was quite enjoyable. 

I did not try this with food.
