From Austin Wine Merchant website: 2019 Orvieto Classico Superiore Terre Vineate Palazzone "Unquestionably the number one small estate of Orvieto" according to Stephen Tanzer, Palazzone produces delicious white wines from indigenous grape varietals of Umbria, balancing irresistable fruit aromas and flavors with an oh-so stony backdrop and nerve; produce of 50% Procanico, 30% Grechetto and 20% of Verdello, Drupeggio and Malvasia, vinified in stainless steel to keep things fresh; medium-bodied, supremely-balanced white wine with aromas that speak clearly of cool of the morning harvest fresh grapes and notions of floral honey, beeswax and something like hazelnut and elderflower and, yet again, stone; at once, just ample and round, crisp and dusty, citrusy dry and alive with fresh grapey flavor. C'mon downtown 'n get yourself some of this delicious wine!”

Took three very different white wines to dinner at a friend’s house. They served a shrimp and pea risotto. This was the star of the evening even though it was served last. (I was totally unfamiliar with it.) The other two wines were delicious also— a 2019 Bruno Giacosa Arneis and a 2019 Maçanita Douro Branco— but this was so elegant and polished everyone said “wow” when this was poured.

If you like Orvieto whites, try this 2019 Classico Superiore by Palazzone. It’s luscious (for an Orvieto), well-balanced, and thoroughly refreshing. At $14 I should probably buy a case for the summer.
