2015 Bigi Orvieto Classico
#nb-13-17
Another great evening at our favorite "Little Italian Place", Moretti's Italian Grill in Cape Coral, Florida, where we feasted on fresh seafood and pasta. We paired this evening's dinner with the 2015 Bigi Orvieto Classico, which was a new vintage of one of our past favorites.
The Bigi Orvieto is a classic style from Umbria which appeals to the senses with a delicate bouquet of wild flowers and a fruit basket of fragrant scents. The flavor is clean and crisp, with the presence of peach enveloped in a citrus breeze, backed by the taste of golden apples and a hint of pear. This is a great wine for seafood and can be had for a modest price. The alcohol content is 12.5%, and Norm's score is 88.
Orvieto is a perfect white wine for most seafood and pasta dishes, and the Bigi would be especially good with Fettuccine Alfredo,
and would also pair well with Chicken Piccata.
price : $10 - $14
score: 88
