NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Barberani Calcaia Orvieto Classico Superiore Dolce is a delightful expression of Umbrian sweetness.It pours a radiant golden hue, enticing with a bouquet of ripe peach, honey, and fragrant white flowers. On the palate, it is luxuriously sweet without being cloying, as vibrant acidity weaves through flavors of candied citrus, apricot preserves, and a hint of nuttiness. This wine is beautifully balanced, with a silky mouthfeel that glides to a refined finish. The persistent aftertaste lingers with notes of sweet spice and minerality, making it a perfect accompaniment to dessert or a refreshing counterpoint to rich, savory cheeses.

ORIGINS
Winery: Barberani
Region: Lombardy
Lombardy is a region in the north of Italy, located in the foothills of the Alps. With a long history of winemaking, Lombardy is one of the most prolific wine regions in Italy, producing a wide range of styles from sparkling to still wines.
The history of winemaking in Lombardy dates back to the Roman Empire, when the region was known as Cisalpine Gaul. During this period, the Romans planted vineyards and developed winemaking techniques that are still used today. In the Middle Ages, Lombardy was an important center of winemaking, with many monasteries producing wine for religious ceremonies. In the 19th century, Lombardy was one of the first regions in Italy to embrace modern winemaking techniques, such as the use of oak barrels and the introduction of new grape varieties.CUSTOMER RATING
