Only the very best grapes from the finest vineyards are used for Castagnolo Orvieto Classico. Each year, the vineyard was tested to determine which yielded the highest quality. This explains the grape blend's difference from that of the "regular" Orvieto. It contains more Grechetto and a small amount of Chardonnay. The result is a beautiful, rich, and even opulent Orvieto. A unique and classic white wine.
Barberani's business card
The Barberani winery is located a few kilometers from the Italian town of Orvieto. Since the 1960s, the Barberani family has been producing wines in the Umbria region. This bottle is a true calling card for brothers Bernardo and Nicolo, as it demonstrates their dedication to achieving top results! They also practice biodynamic farming for harmony with nature. The vineyards are located in the best part of the Orvieto DOC, which is entitled to the Classico designation. The Barberani family is a well-known name in the international wine world, a name that guarantees high-quality wines. It was grandfather Vittorio who, in 1961, decided to start growing wines in the fields surrounding Lake Corbara. His initial focus was on producing Orvieto Classico, made from Trebbiano Procanico and Grechetto grapes, with the goal of producing an accessible wine.
The grapes are subjected to very strict controls. After maceration, alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks. The young white wine then matures in stainless steel tanks for another three to five months.
What does the Barberani Castagnolo Orvieto Classico taste like?
This Orvieto has a beautiful, open aroma with notes of flowers and honey, a touch of marzipan and raisins. This Castagnolo Orvieto Classico from the Barberani winery truly has a delightful aroma. The palate is equally magnificent, with lovely notes of ripe red apple, ripe pineapple, and a hint of citrus peel. But above all, it's thick and full, and the finish is particularly juicy and approachable.
