It is not easy to find an Orvieto as delicious as the 2003 Poggio Calvelli. This aromatic, sexy, dry white exhibits copious amounts of honeysuckle, pear, peach, roasted nut, and floral characteristics as well as a notion of mint. Layered, light to medium-bodied, and loaded with flavor, this beauty should be consumed with appetizers or tapas over the next 6-12 months.
