The Return of the Porcupine

2006 Orvieto, Sergio Mottura
$11.00
Shane’s Notes

While Jen and I were browsing through Vin 100 in Los Altos, we noticed a very familiar porcupine on the label of this bottle. We drank a Sergio Mottura Moffato while on our honeymoon in Italy and it was simply the best wine of our trip. So, we were obligated to try this Orvieto. This is an unusual wine and we both enjoyed it. It is a blend of Procanico, Verdello and Grechetto. The palate is citrussy and the dominant flavor is probably grapefruit. The palate also shows a dash of herbs with nice minerality on the finish. We would definitely buy another bottle.
