Wine 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 points i-winereview
My Review: It quite literally smelled like buttered pasta. It had a lighter, more mineral-y taste than the previous wine. There were notes of pear and apple. I enjoyed this wine a lot. It would definitely go with seafood or a light pasta dish.
I did not have food with this wine.
