Shop/Critic/Winery Review: 88 - i-winereview"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 impressions: Somewhat musty, floral nose, without a whole lot of fruit present. Some more fruit on the tongue, and that mustiness goes away. It's decent, but I don't find it particularly interesting; if I'd had it before the Vinho Verde, I might like it more.
