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.
My review: This wine smells like a spiked glass of apple juice. The flavor is strong and carries a bitterness to it that really hits the roof of the mouth. The finish was strong and enduring and may have continued on into the next tasting.
This was tasted without food
