Tasting - Tentuta le Velette

Name: Tenuta le Velette

Variety: Orvieto Classico
Region: Orvieto
Country: Italy
Year: 2011
Price: $18 Sale $6.95
Expert 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."

My Review: This light wine was very enjoyable to the nose, I got a hint of flowers as well as white fruit like peach, white grape juice. The taste was not disappointing, hint of citrus, the flowers from the smell and the white fruits I smelled.


I did not pair this with food
