Year: 2011

Winery Review: The Berganorio Orvieto is a subtle wine with a bright palate. It shows white flowers on the nose and light citrus notes in the mouth. Its neutral character means it can accompany a wide range of foods. A blend of 30% Trebbiano, 30% Grechetto, 20% Malvasia, 15% Verdello, and 5% Drupeggio. The estate has 103 hectares on the hill opposite the hill town of Orvieto. 88 points by i-winereview.
My Review: This white wine was very golden in color with a scent of flowers and apricot. With a blast of these two characteristics on the nose, I was expecting a little more flavors in the mouth. It lacked flavors and it was pretty disappointing considering how great the aroma was. I tasted this wine on its own with no food. I would give this wine an 83.
