Region: Orvieto
Country: Italy
Year: 2011
Price: $18....Sale $6.95
iWineReview Review: Score 88, "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: Pretty deep golden yellow color. Very hard to get anything on the nose. I got subtle hints of apple. The taste was extremely alcoholic and unbalanced. 

*Did not have with food
