Expert 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."- I winereview- 88
My Review: This was very woody on the nose, reminding me of
forest floor and nature. When tasting it, apricot came to mind immediately. It was
medium bodied but picked up some heat and bitterness heading into the after
taste. It didn’t possess great balance and overall, not a great wine.
Food: This wine was tasted with no food due to tasting it at
the Vintage Cellar.
