Rich in culture and Papal history, viticulture was first introduced to the region of Orvieto by the early Etruscans. The region is filled with amazing structures like its underground city, the Papal residence, the Doumo and Palazzo del Capitano del Popolo. And, of course, it’s home to one of Italy’s great white wines. Yet, no one ever says, “I’m so excited. We’re going to Orvieto.” Or, “Let’s get a bottle of Oriveto tonight”. We’re not saying the Belloro Custodi will change all that. But maybe you’ll re-think that Pinot Grigio purchase the next time you visit the store. This aromatic, sexy white wine shows ample amounts of white flower, pear, ripe peach, toasted hazelnut, and a tenuous herbal note that is shy with peppermint. Layered, light bodied, and flush with flavor drink this gorgeous effort with antipasti, prosciutto wrapped asparagus, creamy cheeses or shellfish. Buy it now for immediate consumption. Should not be cellared past the end of the 2010
