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: Strong floral sensation on the nose leaning more towards light/more sharp floral smells like citrus and maybe a hint of lily. Very balanced with no noticeable acidity but slightly mouth puckering. Not a huge fan of it as it lacks character. 

I did not have this wine with food.
