Ruffino Orvieto Classico DOC 2000, Italy

自從最近參與了一次意大利葡萄酒晚宴後，對她們的酒興趣大增。
這瓶Orvieto，是由意大利的其中一所大型酒廠Ruffino所釀製，質素平平但勝在易入口。
淡淡的檸檬黃色，香氣以青蘋果、蜜瓜及少許香料的辛辣，入口酸度挺高，而且多了一點點的柑橘味道，如用來配巴馬火腿將十分怡人啊！

Orvieto位於意大利中部，以往主要只有甜酒，近年則出產不少乾身的白酒。由於土壤跟法國羅亞爾河谷中上游十分相似，所以Orvieto的酒很多時也帶有清爽的酸度。

After attending an Italian wine dinner, I am interested in wine from her.
This Orvieto was produced by Ruffino, one of the largest winery in Italy. The wine is just acceptable, but very easy to be drunk.
Pale lemon in color, with green apple, melon and spicy aroma. Quite acidic on palate, with additional citrus taste. She should be a nice pal with Parma ham!

Oriveto is in the middle of Italy, maily produce sweet wine in the past. This kind of dry wine were not in production until recent years. As the soil is rather similar to the Loire Valley in France, the wines from Oriveto also possess refreshing acidity.
