Tasting - "Tenuta le Velette Orvieto Classico"

Name: Tenuta le Velette
Variety: Orvieto Classico
Region: Orvieto
Country: Italy
Year: 2011
Regular Price: $18
Sale Price: $6.95

Winery Notes:
"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 golden wine smells like a tart apricot. The wine was relatively flat, as opposed to full bodied. It tasted like a tart granny smith apple. This wine was tasted without food.
