Orvieto Classico is characterized by a slight sweet sensation, sought after and obtained through the forced ripening of the grapes and their vinification in cool cellars carved out of the volcanic tuff.

 

The straw yellow colour is intense and full, the aromas are of ripe, sweet, rich fruit. In the mouth, the good acidity is accompanied by a soft, sweet sensation, which makes it smoother and gives it roundness and fullness.

The Tenuta Le Velette farm is a single estate of about 270 hectares, in view of the city of Orvieto, at an elevation that varies from 270 to 330 meters above sea level.

 

Approximately 130 hectares has been identified and planted with vineyards, which, depending on their exposure, are used for the different varieties of vines that best benefit from each of these positions. Although they are long-lived, even grape vines age and must be removed. The planning of the soil regeneration periods, approximately every 30 years, as the vineyards grow older, allows the growing of annual crops for this purpose.

 

Even if they are intended for a future new vineyard, or are used to cultivate those areas whose positions do not make them usable otherwise, they help keep the farm diversified and give the landscape a natural balance that is clearly visible and perceptible, with vineyards being greatly preeminent.
