Orvieto Secco - Sergio Mottura

The Orvieto Secco from the Lazio wine-growing region presents itself in the glass in a bright light yellow. This Italian cuvée flatters the nose in the glass with wonderfully expressive notes of mirabelle plum, peach, lemon and apple. There are also hints of basil and mint/melissa.

The Sergio Mottura Orvieto Secco presents itself to the wine drinker as pleasantly dry. At the same time, this white wine never appears coarse or lean, as one might expect from a wine. On the palate, the texture of this well-balanced white wine is wonderfully crisp. The finish of this white wine from the Lazio wine-growing region ultimately convinces with a lovely aftertaste. The aftertaste is also accompanied by mineral notes from the soils dominated by volcanic rock.

Vinification of the Orvieto Secco by Sergio Mottura

The basis for the first-class and wonderfully balanced Orvieto Secco cuvée from Sergio Mottura is Grechetto and Trebbiano grapes. In Lazio, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on soils of volcanic rock. After being hand-harvested, the grapes are brought to the winery as quickly as possible. There they are sorted and gently crushed. This is followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Vinification is followed by several months of aging on the fine lees before the wine is finally bottled.
