Orvieto Classico is a subregion of Orvieto with primarily limestone tufa and volcanic soil. The superiore classification requires limited yields and dictates the amount of Trebbiano included in the blend. The grapes are hand harvested from the lakeside vineyards. Each variety is vinified separately. The must is chilled and fermented in temperature-controlled steel tanks and is then transferred to cement vats until blending and bottling. Food pairing Delicious with sushi, fresh seafood and young cheeses.
Producer Nestled among Umbria’s rolling hills on the southern bank of Lake Corbara, the Salviano property is owned by Incisa della Rocchetta family, owners of legendary Sassicaia. Extensive renovations, including a rebuilt wine cellar and newly planted vineyards of indigenous and international varieties, have contributed to the success of the Orvieto Classico and international blends produced at Tenuta di Salviano. The Salviano estate occupies 4,940 acres surrounding Lake Corbara and the banks of the Tiber River in the heart of the Orvieto DOC production zone. Salviano is part of the Titignano estate, a much larger property under the same ownership, located across the lake in the medieval village of the same name. Built in A. D. 937, the Titignano castle and its court grew by the 17th century to include the village and the surrounding land, including the Salviano castle and its property. The Titignano castle has recently benefited from extensive renovations, with its main buildings refurbished to include guest accommodations and a restaurant. The Salviano vineyards are planted to Sangiovese, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Trebbiano Toscano (Procanico clone) and Grechetto, and extend over 173 acres. These newly planted vineyards of indigenous and international varieties produce excellent-quality red and white wines, from the classic Orvieto Classico Superiore to progressive luxury red blends. Salviano’s state-of-the-art vinification and cellaring facilities are located in the Salviano castle on Lake Corbara. Stainless steel vats are used for the fermentation of both white and red wines and barrel aging takes place in a cellar excavated from the tufa limestone beneath the property.
