Tasting- Tenuta le Velette Orvieto Classico 2011

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

Winery 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 wine had nice golden color to it. The nose was very floral and citrusy. The taste was underwhelming, bland to me. I picked up flavors of apples in the taste.
