The words Muffa Nobile have been taken off the front label, although this vintage sees full Botrytis Cinerea, just like in past years. The delicious 2014 Orvieto Classico Superiore Calcaia (500 milliliters) is a fabulous dessert wine from Umbria and one that I highly recommend. The wine is so robust and generous, it sails clear past any problems associated with the difficult growing season. It does so with robust confidence and personality. The wine opens to a beautiful golden color and amber hues. The bouquet delivers honey, dried apricot, white raisin and candied fruit. The mouthfeel is honey-like in intensity. Some 15,000 bottles were produced, so it's not too hard getting your hands on this special sweet wine.

White peach puree and chamomile flavors are set in a well-balanced, vibrant frame in this creamy dessert wine. Accents of spun honey and ground cardamom and ginger spice enrich the finish. Drink now through 2024. 500 cases made, 150 cases imported.??–AN??Region: Italy / Orvieto Classico Select to Add
