CALCAIA - Orvieto Classico Superiore Doc Dolce “Muffa Nobile” : On autumn mornings, the area is usually blanketed by a thick fog that fosters the development of a particular mildew on the grapes known as “Botrytis cinerea”.
These grapes are picked very late and the harvest is done in several stages in order to allow this phenomenon to be completed.

GRAPES: the five traditional varieties used for Orvieto wine and a little quantity of chardonnay.
COLOR: golden yellow.
SCENT: elegant and fascinating bouquet that is rich and “buttery”.
TASTE: its noble, persuasive and harmoniously mellow flavor is sweet and has a lingering finish.
FERMENTATION: in steel tanks.
AGING: in small oak barrels for twelve months and then in bottle.

It is the perfect foil for paté de foie gras appetizers and it is excellent with herbed, goat and sharp cheeses. It also goes well with biscuits.
This is simply a marvelous sipping wine.
Serve at 8-12° C..
