  • Winereivew 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: On the nose I am hit with tones of tropical fruit flavors, mango and guava are two big standouts. There are also hints of watermelon along with fresh cut grass. On the palate there are none of the tropical fruits tasted, the only fruit flavor there is pear. There is also an acid feel from lemon on the palate. The finish however is very strong with an acid burn that remains long after the sip has been swallowed.  
  • Food Pairing: I had no food with this wine.
