Sergio Mottura Orvieto 2020, Umbria

Description

90 points Vinous:  Luminous pale straw. Aromas and flavors of stone and pomaceous orchard fruit. Very bright and juicy with sneaky concentration and depth to the apple, pear and floral flavors. Finishes long and saline with a lingering juicy ripe pear nuance and noteworthy salinity. Mottura is not located in Umbria, the home of Orvieto, but he has always been one of Italy’s three best producers of Orvieto wines. This effort won’t make anyone forget Montrachet, but it’s a delightful, well-balanced easygoing white that showcases well just how good Orvieto can be, in the right hands.
