The 2011 Orvieto Classico Superiore Castagnolo Secco shows lovely density of fruit allied to piercing, saline minerality. This is a gorgeous, vibrant Orvieto laced with flowers and white stone fruits. I would prefer to drink it over the next year or two, while the fruit remains vibrant and crispy. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2014.
Barberani excels with a number of wines, but the estate’s most distinctive offerings are the sweet wines.
