Wine Critic Review: (88 -- i-winereview)
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.
My Review:
This wine had a very sweet, fruity smell. I smelled citrus with a hint of berries and peaches. It had a very light, fruity taste, while not overdoing it like many sweet wines I've tasted. This wine almost had a little bit of a sour finish to it. Overall, I really enjoyed it.
I tasted this wine without food.
