($18, Vignaioli Selection): Grechetto di Todi, also known as Pignoletto, is a distinct variety from Grechetto di Umbria, the grape frequently used in Orvieto.  So don’t think this is an Orvieto.  Not surprisingly, given the name of the winery and the name of the wine, it is beautifully floral.   On the palate, it has a stone fruit character and an almost honey-like richness, but with a dry finish, with even a hint of bitterness.  The contrast between its aromatic nature and its bitterness makes you come back for another sip.  With a surprisingly long finish and brilliant acidity that supports the richness, it would be an excellent choice for a richly sauced chicken dish.
