Tor di Monte Grechetto 2006 WHITE Italy

Beautiful Umbria is much like Tuscany (though with fewer tourists!). Vine-clad hills ancient stone farmhouses and castelli a great culinary tradition and naturally a wealth of wonderful wines to match. Grechetto is the region's wine of the moment. One of Italy's great originals cultivated since Roman times Grechetto is a key component of the best known Umbrian white Orvieto and displays a nicely concentrated refreshing elegance. Our specialist Italian Buyer was greatly impressed by this particular wine from the 11th century Tordimonte estate because it offers the same full-flavoured fresh and nutty character of Orvietto minus the price premium this famous name carries. Light golden colour with subtle toasted almond zesty lemon and floral aromas. Fresh dry and ripe it's perfectly suited to local specialities such as Prosciutto di Norcia (a quality cured ham) or freshwater fish and garden-fresh salads.
