Orvieto, Italy

Winery Review (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. 

My Review: I found this wine to be actually pretty deceptive. It had a very nice daylight golden color. On the nose, I detected a lot of sweetness and citrus, so I suspected it could be a very dry and acidic wine. However, on the palate the sweetness completely disappeared. The acidity was medium minus, as it was not as overpowering as the Aveleda white. I found this wine to be very one-sided.
