Description
Vineyards have been cultivated in Umbria, “the green heart of Italy” and a crossroads between the north and the south, between the Adriatic and Tyrrhenian Seas, since Etruscan times. When we speak of Orvieto, we think of a beautiful walled city built on
a tuffstone mound by the Etruscans, and known in the Roman era as Urbs Vetus (old city) – but also of the prized white Umbrian wine of which Bigi has been a leading producer for many years.
Taste
The tangy, rounded, smooth yet lively flavour closes on clear-cut, pleasing notes of white peaches.
