WINE DESCRIPTION
Argillae Orvieto Bianco is a distinguished white wine from the renowned Argillae winery in Italy’s prestigious Orvieto appellation. Crafted to honor the region’s rich winemaking heritage, this wine is celebrated for its complex and persistent flavor profile. The grapes, harvested in September, are meticulously handled with a brief cold maceration in closed presses before being vinified in temperature-controlled steel tanks. Following static decantation and fine lees management, the wine undergoes aging on fine lees to enhance its organoleptic properties. The result is a wine that balances extraordinary freshness with intricate aromas, offering a testament to the quality and tradition of Orvieto’s viticulture.
