Decugnano dei Barbi 'Mare Antico' Orvieto Classico Superiore 2019

Decugnano dei Barbi 'Mare Antico' Orvieto Classico Superiore 2019 is an elegant, highly expressive Italian white wine sourced from fossil-rich marine soils in Umbria. It opens with fragrant aromas of yellow stone fruit, citrus blossom, wild mint, and flinty minerality. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and finely textured, offering flavors of ripe apricot, mandarin, and bitter almond, counterbalanced by vibrant acidity and a long, salty, oyster-shell finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs wonderfully with grilled seafood, mushroom risotto, zucchini pasta, roasted poultry, and light vegetarian courses.

Aromas of wild herb, yellow stone fruit and citrus come to the forefront on this gorgeous white. Showing finesse and energy, the tangy, delicious palate features ripe apricot, grapefruit and fennel seed alongside notes of dried mint and bitter almond. Crisp acidity and mineral notes recalling oyster shell lend racy tension. A serious white that shows the great potential of this denomination.
