Cantina Altarocca is a beautiful hill top winery and hotel in the heart of Orvieto. Wine-maker Emiliano Sirchia  is growing traditional grapes such as Grechetto and Procanico and creating balanced and sustainable wines such as this Orvieto Classico Superiore.
We get citrus and minerality on the nose with ripe pear and orange peel evident on the palate. This white has enough weight to stand up to bolder foods and the elegance to pull it off.
Try it with: Stuffed whole fish, sushi rolls, brown butter pasta with fried eggs & pine nuts
