Palazzo Simoncelli 2006 WHITE Italy

Pinot Grigio fans will adore the clean crisp flavours of this authentic Orvieto ... and it passes the ultimate test of a good Italian white - it's superb with food. Winemaker Maurillio Chioccia is a master of food-friendly whites - so much so that sommeliers in restaurants all over Italy organised a day of celebration in his honour. 2006 was a "breathtakingly good" Italian vintage giving Palazzo more flavour than ever. Halfway between Rome and Florence the medieval hill-top town of Orvieto is "making a name for itself with top class whites" (Decanter). This Orvieto Classico (from some of the town's finest vineyards) takes its name from the local 12th Century palazzo owed by the Simoncellis until 200 years ago. Lemon in hue with fresh aromas white fruit flavours - pears apples melons - and crisp minerally notes (a classic sign of top-notch Italian whites). Superb with creamy pasta or fresh salads.
