The 2022 Orvieto Classico Superiore Castagnolo, a blend of 70% Grechetto and 30% Trebbiano Procanico, lifts from the glass with an airy mix of wildflowers and freshly sliced yellow apples. This is silky and enveloping with saline minerals and brisk acidity contrasting ripe orchard fruits. It tapers off with a salty flourish and a pleasant tension, leaving a sensation of liquid stone.
