2020 Tenuta di Salviano Rigogoli


A discovery for me...
 Really enjoyable Umbrian blend of Grechetto di Todi and Viognier. 
Tasting blind, I thought Malvasia was part of the mix, but it's not.
Wonderful balance of salinity, acidity and fruit ... a truly intriguing blend. 
Rigogoli = golden orioles
Paired with tempura fried lobster tails. Yum...

Couple of new things on this wine. It's subtle elegance really shines after being open for a few hours. Very interesting tangerine up front giving way to a pop of pineapple on the finish. Nice mouthwatering salinity. 
Your mileage may vary 👍
