Ruffino 2010 Orvieto Classico D.O.C. 

I tried this tasty Italian white at an Italian restaurant in Denver where it was paired with a family style meal and found it quite appealing. Pretty floral and fruit aromas lead to notes of ripe golden apple, pear, and citrus with nuances of almond blossoms. Not only was it delightful with a fruit and veggie salad, it paired well with chicken and pasta in pesto sauce. A large producer, yes, but it’s a good value at $8.99 on sale at BevMo! and widely available in grocery stores.
