It is an open secret in the trade that you actuallycanbuy wine by the label, and if you need proof, take a look at this wine. Not only does this Umbrian white come in the most spectacularly beautiful package, but the wine inside is a dream. Effulgent aromas of white blossoms, peach and pear and Cara Cara oranges with gravel and crushed Tuscan herbs tickle the nose before the palate climbs out of Platos cave to bask in rays of orange, peach and apricot, washing over touches of almond and minerals.

This is a full bodied wine because its Trebbiano Spoletino, which makes Umbrias fullest bodied white wine, and Spoleto native Iacopo Paolucci has made it his lifes work to bring Umbrias native grapes to their greatest potential. He farms his vineyard at about 1600 feet above sea level without pesticide, and gives the wine five days of skin contact to add a little extra textural bite. Nothing else goes into the wine other than a touch of sulfur at bottling. Nothing else is needed on our end but a glass. And maybe a roast chicken. Or a mushroom risotto.
