Shop 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." -88 – i- winereview


My Review: Heavy sugars hit the nose on this wine mirroring that of lemon and lime skittles. Orange citrus flavors are on the palate of the dry golden yellow wine.
