Profile & Story
Vineyards have been cultivated in Umbria, “the green heart of Italy” and a crossroads between the north and the south, between the Adriatic and Tyrrhenian Seas, since Etruscan times. When we speak of Orvieto, we think of a beautiful walled city built on a tuffstone mound by the Etruscans, and known in the Roman era as Urbs Vetus (old city) – but also of the prized white Umbrian wine of which Bigi has been a leading producer since 1880. The wine is made of Grechetto, Trebbiano Toscano (Procanico), Verdello, Malvasia Toscana and Drupeggio Bigi is located in the classic and oldest DOC zone surrounding Orvieto, in the province of Terni which lies 300 metres above sea level with lean soil and favorable aspects to the sun.
Tasting Notes
The wine has a straw-yellow color with a subtle nose of fresh, fragrant hawthorn blossom and hints of musk and almonds. The tangy, rounded, smooth yet lively flavor closes on clear-cut, pleasing notes of white peaches.
Pairing Recommendation
And excellent aperitif and also pairs well with starters, fish, shellfish, eggs, fresh cheeses.
