Produced from various vineyard sites throughout the Orvieto production area. The town is situated on top of a long mass of tufa rock rendering a clayey soil. Using the spurred cordon and guyot training methods, the planting density ranges from 3500 – 4000 vines/hectare. All the vineyards benefit from southwestern exposures with an average elevation of 300 meters above sea level.
From the Wine Maker – “The signature wine of Orvieto, this wine is produced from hilly vineyards in the Classic DOC zone, enjoying clayey soil and southwest exposure. Fermented and aged in stainless steel, this wine offers a floral bouquet of hawthorn blossom with hints of musk and almond. Dry and full-bodied on the palate, Bigi Orvieto Classico has a lively flavor with a unique aftertaste of white peaches and bitter almonds.”
The wine is the perfect complement to hors d’oeuvres, fish, shellfish, and egg dishes.
