Critic 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."
Score: 88  i-winereview

My Review: Medium-dark yellow in color. Aroma of sweet violets on the nose. Bitter/tart on the palate and notable acidity. Perhaps a little buttery coating on the palate and a hint of citrus on the finish. Another wine that was not particularly exciting to me. 

I tasted this without food.
