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 pts, Wine Reviewer)
My Review: This white had a lot more umph in the nose profile than the the last wine tasted. This really showed its fruity and floral components in the nose. It smelled a lot like lemon and lime peel. The taste was quite bland though. No real clear cut punch was felt through the tasting. I would have this with some seafood or chicken. I wouldn't buy this one either. I like a wine that is more full bodies and has complex flavor interactions.
