Hèdonè 2014
Umbria Bianco IGT
A Room with a View (1986)
FRIDAY, JUNE 16 @ 12:00 AM (ET)
There’s much pleasure to be found in this Merchant-Ivory adaptation of E.M. Forster’s classic novel. Set in Florence as well as England, much of the film was shot just down the road from the Umbrian vineyards where this delicious white blend was produced. Watch with someone special, and fall in love again with Italy and this refreshing wine with notes of fresh flowers and tropical fruit.
THE WINE
THE REGION & GRAPES
THE REGION
The Cirulli family have been winemakers since 1861, the year Valentino’s greatgrandfather purchased land in his native Abruzzo. They began trading their home-grown wine and olive oil, and the business was born. But it wasn’t until the late 1980s that Valentino moved the operation to Orvieto, and in 2007, his winery opened its doors. He’s been focusing on his art (wine) ever since.
WITH FOOD
A classic aperitif, this fine white has great, food-friendly acidity and a little extra roundness, so it’s also perfect with a wide variety of seafood, chicken and vegetarian dishes. Try scallops in a lemon-cream sauce, chicken piccata or garlic shrimp over your favorite pasta. It'll also hit the spot with risottos – go for a simple preparation with mushrooms and fresh Italian parsley.
