Wine Critic Review: 88 – i- wine 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."
My review: This blended white wine had a stronger nose of crisp apple and white flowers. The taste was slightly acidic with a pear flavor. I liked this wine and would like to try it again. I would not pay full-price for the bottle though.
This wine was not consumed with food.
