The Orvieto Classico Superiore "Luigi e Giovanna" is a white wine that captivates with its richness and aromatic complexity. It is one of the most prestigious labels of the winery, created to celebrate the 50 years of activity of the Barberani family. It is an interpretation that aims to highlight the potential of the indigenous grape varieties Grechetto and Trebbiano and the peculiarities of a territory characterized by predominantly tuff soils of ancient volcanic origin. Thanks to the presence of the nearby Lake Corbara, the area enjoys a very particular climate, with absolutely unique conditions.
The Orvieto Classico Superiore "Luigi e Giovanna" is made from grapes grown on a beautiful hillside facing south, directly overlooking Lake Corbara. The microclimate, with significant temperature variations between day and night and fogs during the autumn period, favors the formation of Botrytis Cinerea on the grapes. The blend is born from a combination of Grechetto and Trebbiano, harvested around mid-September, to which a small percentage of grapes is added, left in the vineyard until late October, harvested only when the Noble Rot is present on the bunches. After a 24-hour skin maceration, at temperatures close to 0 °C, fermentation begins with indigenous yeasts. The wine then matures for about 12 months in large French oak barrels and completes the aging with another 12 months in the bottle before leaving the winery.
The Orvieto Classico Superiore "Luigi e Giovanna" is the ideal choice for those who love whites with a broad palate and complex and evolved aromas. It presents itself with a light color with brilliant and luminous golden reflections. The olfactory profile is rich in nuances, ranging from notes of ripe yellow fruit, to candied citrus peel, tropical aromas, saffron, and soft memories of honey and pastry. On the palate, it is enveloping and deep, with great aromatic persistence, finding a perfect taste balance in the intact freshness and a clear mineral vein.
