Winemaker's Notes:

Blend: 40% Procanico, 40% Grechetto, 15% Verdello, 5% Drupeggio and Malvasia

Antinori has produced an Orvieto since 1922 and an Orvieto Classico since 1932. With the 1988 vintage, this wine was given the name 'Campogrande'. Straw-yellow colour with greenish hues; subtle, delicate fruity and floral aromas and a fresh, tangy flavour with a nice sweet sensation in the finish.
