Antinori Santa Cristina Casole Orvieto Classico Amabile 2010

Veneto, ItalyAn intriguing blend of 40 percent procanico, 40 grechetto, 15 verdello and 5 percent drupeggio and malvasia with 50 grams of residual sugar and only 10 percent alcohol. The aromas are rich and suggest ripe banana with an orange blossom undertone. The palate is sweet with decent acidity. This could certainly work with spicy "hot" Asian dishes. A classic old style Orvieto form the past.Tasted: 03 June 2011Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
