Review - Tenuta le Velette Orvieto Classico

Name: Tenuta le Velette Orvieto Classico
Variety: 30% Trebbiano 30% Grechetto 20% Malvasia 15% Verdello 5% Drupeggio
Region: Orvieto
Country: Italy
Year: 2011
Price: $18.00

Wine 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.

Personal Review: I found the Berganorio Orvieto to have a floral, perfumy, grapefruit bouquet. Though the Berganorio Orvieto was intriguing at the nose, its beautiful aromas were not indicative of how the wine actually tasted. I found the Berganorio Orvieto to have a red hot alcohol taste from start to finish. 

Note: I did not consume this wine with food.
