Orvieto wine The property: The estate of Salviano covers an area of an 2,000 hectares of land between the historic cities of Todi and Orvieto. The property has been owned by the aristocratic Corsini family for many centuries and lies in the heart of the Orvieto Classico DOC area. Location of the vineyards and soil characteristics: The vineyards are situated from 250 to 380 m. at sea level on the hills overlooking the northern bank of the Lake of "Corbara", Orvieto. The exposures vary from south-west to east-south-east for the vineyards and the soil originates from decaying tufa rocks, the same type from which the farm's antique cellar is excavated. Currently only 60 hectares are under vine, planted to Procanico, Verdello, Grechetto, Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Malvasia and Pinot Blanc as well as Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon. |

Aging : Part in glass lined cement vats and parts in barriques depending on the vintage.
Tasting notes: Soil-inflected aromas of stone, grapeful and almond skin, dense and fairly concentrated with a floral character and excellent finish. Serving temperature : 18-20 C
