The 2007 Orvieto reveals white peaches, smoke and earthiness, with good length and balance. The aromatics aren’t perfectly clean and some rustic elements remain, which kept the score from going higher. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2009.
Argillae, in Umbria, makes a range of well-priced wines under the guidance of consulting oenologist Lorenzo Landi.
