Descrizione

Veritas Est by Bigi is an Umbria IGP white that stands out for its immediate freshness and fragrant profile. On the nose it reveals white flowers, green apple notes and a herbaceous hint that doesn't weigh it down; on the palate it surprises with the clean sip, lively acidity balanced by a pleasant sapidity and a slim but convincing body. The whole is balanced and smooth, suited to those looking for an everyday yet carefully made wine, with a clear finish that invites the next glass.

It pairs well with light dishes: seafood appetizers, carpaccios, light soups and fresh cheeses, but also holds up nicely with vegetable-based dishes and white meats that are not too structured. Serve chilled, around 10-12 °C, in a glass that highlights freshness and delicate aromas. A versatile white, useful both for informal dinners and for more attentive pairings, where clarity and drinkability remain the protagonists.

Winery history

The winery has been rooted in the Orvieto area since the late 19th century; official sources record the founding of Casa Vinicola Luigi Bigi in 1880. Originally based in the former Franciscan monastery "La Trinità," production was moved to more modern facilities in Ponte Giulio during the 20th century. Over time the winery became part of Gruppo Italiano Vini and consolidated production of Orvieto’s characteristic white wines alongside a range of regional reds.

Production philosophy

Official communications and public descriptions highlight an approach focused on enhancing the Orvieto area and promoting Made in Italy, with attention to grape quality and the expression of terroir in the wines.

The operations are rooted in the Orvieto area. The winery works with grapes from vineyards in the classic zone, notably the Vigneto Torricella on the hills overlooking Lago di Corbara; the appellation’s soils feature alluvial, sandy, volcanic and clay-rich characteristics, with vineyards situated at elevations ranging from 150 to 450 metres.
