Variety: Orvieto Classico
Year: 2011
Country: Italy
Region: Orvieto
Price: $18
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.
