The estate’s 2006 Orvieto Classico Superiore Calcaia Dolce is made from botrytised grapes. It shows gorgeous balance, minerality and freshness in a mid-weight style, with superb length and fine overall balance. A floral bouquet melds into ripe, juicy peaches, mint and sweet spices. The aromas and flavors remain fresh throughout, with none of the candied, burnt-sugar notes found in the 2007 Moscato Passito. This is a terrific wine from Barberani. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2016.
