Tasting- Villa d' Orvieto

Name:  Villa d' Orvieto
Variety:   Grechetto, Procanico (Trebbiano), and Malvasia
Region:   N/A
Country:   Italy
Year:   2011
Price:   $6.95

Shop Critic:   Fresh and crisp, it has a beautiful, floral bouquet.  It is wonderful with appetizers, fish, chicken, and salads.

My Review:  This light white wine had a subtle fruity, floral aroma.  It didn't have an immense amount of flavor to speak of; pretty blah overall.  I did detect some bitter, tart green apple notes as well as some citrus flavors.  Extremely pale in color and completely transparent.  Not a big "wow-er".  

I drank this wine on its own with no food pairings.
